Why partner with us?
Our team of experienced action photographers specializes in capturing the excitement and energy of aquatic events. With a focus on high-quality images and personalized service, we'll help you showcase the incredible talent and dedication of your swimmers.
Why Us:
- Expert Action Photography: Our photographers are skilled at capturing the dynamic moments of your swim meet, from powerful strokes to emotional celebrations.
- Tailored Collaboration: We work hand-in-hand with event organizers to ensure that all requirements are met and the photography services align perfectly with the event's needs.
- High-Quality Images: Our images are delivered in high resolution, perfect for sharing, printing, or displaying.
- Dedicated Support: Our team is always available to assist customers with their purchase and provide personalized service.
- Respect for Privacy: We understand that swimming photography can be sensitive, and we prioritize the privacy of all athletes and customers, ensuring that their images are handled with the utmost care and confidentiality.
How This Works:
- 10% Commission: We offer a 10% commission on the total reservation fees, which include $75 per athlete for action sessions ($89 for outdoor sessions), $75 for private sessions, or $125 for both services combined.
- Our Setup: Our setup require minimal space. A small table and some chairs are all we need to operate.
- On Deck: Our photographer will be on deck moving discreetly to capture swimmer action shots. They’ll introduce themselves to the meet referee beforehand to review meet criteria and adjust as needed to stay aligned with event requirements.
- Images: Instead of hiring event photographer, our photographers will capture images of your team, the event, officials, and the venue for you.
- Our Understanding of swim meet ethics: We are committed to upholding the ethical standards of swim meets. We will ensure that our photography does not interfere with the competition or disrupt the event.
Ethics
At VUE Pictures, we take sports ethics seriously and have implemented measures to protect all photos captured. Here are some key steps we take to ensure the safety and privacy of athletes and their families:
- Safe Sport Certified: All team members, including photographers, must be Safe Sport certified. Our lead photographer oversees and monitors each photographer’s adherence to all safety protocols and ethical guidelines.
- Private Online Galleries: Galleries are sent directly to customers via email, with password protection required for access. Each entry and download is tracked by our system for added security.
- Controlled Photo Handling: Photographers do not use personal memory cards. All captured images are transferred to VUE Pictures immediately after the meet.
- Model Release: We only use images for portfolios when we have a signed model release from the athlete’s parent or guardian. Additionally, no images with the athlete's face visible will be released unless they are wearing goggles.
