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.

Benefits of using Photoplay Studios for your club team photos:

• We are an Adelaide based photography studio, with almost 2 decades 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.
• We customise your team photo designs specifically for your club, these include your club colours, logo and sponsor logos can also be included in the design.

How our team photos work:

• Players order team photos using order forms that have been distributed to each player prior to photo day.
• Players return their payments and completed forms to their team manager. Please note: all players placing an order MUST do so by photo day to avoid a late surcharge.
• The team manager returns the team envelope to the photographer on photo day just as your team is photographed.
• Each player will be photographed for both their team and indivdual portraits.
• Your club contact will be provided with the team photo proofs following photo day for naming/ final sign off.
• 15 working days after ALL proofs have been approved, your photos will be returned to your club for distribution.

• Please contact us early to secure your preferred date and time.
• We need a minimum of 120 players across your teams to confirm a date.
• For clubs with more than 280 players, we may need to schedule photo day over 2 dates.
• For clubs requiring a “call back” after photo day, a $500 fee will be charged to cover our labour costs.
• If you need to alter your photo day booking, please contact us immediate to find an alternative suitable date.
• All photographs are taken indoors with our studio setup. We are completely self sufficient, no access to power is required.
