Common questions
- Do you cover tournaments and live sporting events?
- Yes. We covered the Professional Bowlers Association playoffs at Thunderbowl in Allen Park—17 published images spanning competitor portraits, sideline action, and the trophy ceremony. We work tournaments, leagues, and one-day events across metro Detroit.
- Can you shoot a brand campaign inside a gym or CrossFit box?
- That's most of our fitness work. We shot Lure Essentials' Game On campaign across three different facilities—Royal Oak Gym, Proving Grounds Strength & Conditioning, and New Species CrossFit. We bring our own lighting and work around live classes when needed.
- How fast can we get the photos for social and press?
- A curated set of edited images is sent within hours of the shoot for same-day posting. The full color-corrected gallery follows within 48 hours, organized however you need it—by athlete, round, product SKU, or sponsor.
- What's the difference between $149 and $299?
- $149 starts our in-studio rate for athlete portraits at our Jefferson Avenue studio—$149 for the first finished image, $99 for each additional. $299/hour is the on-location rate when we come to your gym, tournament, or venue, and includes all edited images from the session.
- Do you license images for sponsor decks and press kits?
- Yes. High-resolution files are licensed for marketing, editorial, and sponsor use by default. Tournament organizers and brand clients regularly use our images in pitch decks, press releases, and out-of-home advertising.
- Can you handle a multi-day tournament or a season-long contract?
- Yes. Multi-day tournament coverage, league seasons, and multi-location brand campaigns are quoted as flat-rate contracts rather than hourly. Email or call 313-351-8244 with dates and venues for a quote.
