Meet Photography

Coverage


I’ll be photographing throughout the weekend, focusing on strong action, clean angles, and athlete‑centered moments. While I aim to cover as much as possible, I will not be shooting every event — breaks are necessary to maintain quality and safety.


To keep the gallery online quickly, I do minimal editing upfront.

Every purchased image receives full professional editing before delivery, including color, exposure, and detail refinement.


Photos will be uploaded after the meet once sorting and initial culling are complete.

Athlete Media Waiver

Before viewing or purchasing photos, please complete the quick athlete media waiver.

How Coverage Works

What I Photograph

  • Action coverage across multiple sessions
  • Athlete‑focused moments (starts, turns, finishes, reactions)
  • Select coaching interactions and candid deck moments


What I Do Not Photograph

  • I may not shoot every event/heat
  • I do not sort by heat
  • I do not post photos during the meet

This ensures I can deliver clean, consistent, high‑quality images.

Finding Your Swimmer

  • Link to gallery will be published here when the gallery becomes available
  • Browse by session & event
  • Tap ♥ Favorites to save images
  • Your favorites stay saved when you return
  • Images are best viewed on large screen

For Best Results

I strongly recommend viewing images on a PC or laptop monitor.

This ensures you can clearly confirm:

  • Your athlete is in focus
  • The frame is sharp
  • The moment is what you want

Mobile screens can hide fine detail.
