Why Choose Sideline Studios?
We exclusively use the Canon Professional Series camera bodies, such as the 1D Mark II, the 1Ds and the 1D. We also use the same lenses you see on the sidelines of NFL, NBA and MLB games, such as the amazing 400 2.8 L, the 300 2.8 L and the 70-200 2.8 L.
Simply having the right professional photo gear is not enough. The knowledge and creativity of the photographer behind the camera is what counts the most. Our photographers have many years experience behind the camera at sporting events, portrait sessions and even assisting other professional photographers on assignments. We put much thought into what the final image will look like before we even start shooting...this is why you may see us at games long before they are scheduled to begin, as we check the lighting conditions and even set up our own state of the art lighting equipment.
Once we leave the sidelines of a game, our work is not complete. We spend hours processing, archiving, and preparing the images for viewing on the website. Our vast knowledge of the digital workflow enables us to provide the color consistency and accuracy that we demand in all of our images. This dedication follows each image all the way to the prints you purchase. The printing of our photos we sell to our customers is done at a professional lab that uses a $250,000 printer. We only print on the finest papers to ensure your photo not only looks its best, but will last.
Aside from the technical aspect and equipment that goes into making a quality print we work hard to create lasting relationships with the schools, staff, parents and athletes that we photograph for. We believe that great customer service, respect for others and integrity is of the utmost importance.
