SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHY ADELAIDE

Arranging your annual club or studio photo shoot should not take huge amounts of effort from your committee!

We have the expertise and infrastructure to photograph up to 120 players per hour – this includes team photos.

We provide everything you need to run your photo day with minimal input from team managers.  We are highly skilled in photographing large groups of children of all ages and provide a professional, hassle free service for clubs wanting annual team photos and player portraits.  Whilst the information below is aimed at team sports, we also service dance studios, gymnastics clubs and the like.

COVID-19

As part of our commitment to ensuring the health and safety of all our clients, we are able to accommodate clubs with composite team photos during the COVID-19 pandemic.  This will ensure social distancing measures are exercised throughout your clubs photo shoot, giving clubs peace of mind that all regulations and restrictions are being adhered to while still ensuring your club photos take place.  We are here to help work through these changes with each club individually, ensuring the best outcome for your 2021 annual photos.

Benefits of using Photoplay Studios for your club team photos:

• We are an Adelaide based photography studio, with well over a decade of experience.  You deal with the same person from the first point of contact, until your photos are returned to your club.
• There is no charge for us to attend your club.

How our team photos work:
