Podcast 49: Planning for your Sports Photoshoot

Preparing for your Sports Pictures:

We’ve worked with a lot of teams for their images both full team and individual shots. What has been learned over these are a few tips as a reminder when getting yourself or your athlete ready. We haven’t come across and athlete who doesn’t want good images, so be sure to come with your game face and let Taylor Art Photos assist in the process.


  • Get a full nights rest. Like planning for a game, being exhausted or sleep deprived will come across in the image. So as you prepare for the game, do the same for your images.

  • Show up on time – If there’s a large group, be sure to arrive on time (especially if you have a scheduled time). Rushing never looks good, either on the field or in picture.

  • Bring all sporting equipment - this might seem trivial but if you use a soccer or basketball, bring one along. If you wear shin guards, be sure to have them on. These add not only to the overall feel of the image but also bring an extra pizazz to the picture.

  • Wear full uniforms – this might seem like a no brainer, but arrive in full uniform attire and a clean uniforms helps. If it’s only a partial uniform, it’ll impact the view of the image.
