Our Sportrait Service
Many team photos only capture athletes in a heroic stance with dramatic lighting—and yes, we love that too! But what about capturing their heroic moves? Each session of our sportrait service includes both a portrait and an action shot, featuring the athlete’s best look and their signature stroke.
To provide the best experience, we prefer athletes to sign up in advance. This helps us schedule efficiently and minimizes disruptions to team practice. To encourage early sign-ups, we offer discounted pricing.

Team Photo
We begin with a group photo of the entire team. From gathering to shooting, this process typically takes 30 minutes.
Individual Portraits
 |
 |
Our Portrait Session captures each athlete in their heroic stance. Using rim lighting techniques, we illuminate the edges of the athlete to create a dramatic outline against a dark background. This approach highlights the athlete’s form and presence, delivering bold, cinematic portraits that showcase strength, confidence, and individuality. |
High-Impact Action Photos
 |
For action shots, we use high-impact flash photography to capture clean, cinematic images of each athlete performing their best stroke. This session focuses on highlighting the power, grace, and drama of swimmer performance to celebrate their incredible athleticism. |
The Logistic
This is what to expect that day
- Group Shots: Coaches gather the team for a group shot/s.
- Portraits: Athletes are grouped by their signature stroke. We begin with clean, gear-free shots, move on to capturing moments of athletes putting on their caps and goggles, and finish with their fully geared-up stance.
- Action Shots: After portraits, athletes head to the poolside to perform their signature stroke one by one, each athlete will only performance one signature stroke.
