SPORTS
PHOTOGRAPHY.

Gameday energy, athlete portraits, team coverage. Sidelines, hash marks, locker rooms. The frames that don't show up in the box score but tell the whole story — built for programs, athletes, rights-holders, and press across Upstate NY and the Northeast.

WHAT WE SHOOT.

— EVERY SIDE OF THE GAME

HeckRaiser is a sports photography studio working with college and high school programs, club teams, athletes, agents, and rights-holders across Upstate NY and the Northeast. We cover hockey, basketball, football, lacrosse, soccer, baseball, motorsports, and the off-track stuff — the warm-up, the bench, the timeout huddle, the locker room celebration after a road win.

The work spans gameday photography for programs and rights-holders, athlete portraits and headshots for media days and recruiting, team coverage for season-long documentation and yearbook deliverables, and commercial sports photographyfor brands working with athletes on campaigns. If it's in the building on gameday or training camp, we can shoot it.

WHERE WE WORK.

— FROM THE BENCH TO THE BUZZER

Based in Upstate NY and shooting regularly across the Capital Region, the Hudson Valley, the Adirondacks, and out into the broader Northeast — Boston, Burlington, Philadelphia, NYC. Comfortable in college fieldhouses, indoor arenas (MVP Arena in Albany, college and AHL rinks across the region), outdoor stadiums, motorsports facilities, and the kind of small-gym programs that don't usually get covered well.

Multi-game seasons, away-game travel, tournament weekends, and pre-season camps are quoted with the schedule built into the number. We'll work around your team's calendar, not the other way around.

WHAT YOU GET.

— DELIVERABLES, NO SURPRISES
  • HIGH-RES EDITED GALLERY — color-graded, sequenced for the highlights, ready for press and program use.
  • SOCIAL CROPS — 1:1, 4:5, 9:16 prepped for team feeds, athlete pages, recruiting reels.
  • RIGHTS-HOLDER EXPORTS — sized and named so a publication, conference, or league can drop them straight in.
  • RAW ARCHIVE ON REQUEST — the full take, organized by quarter or period, for licensing or yearbook builds.
  • RUSH OPTION — gameday gallery in your inbox the next morning.

HOW IT WORKS.

— ONE CONVERSATION, ONE QUOTE, ONE PLAN

Tell us the program, the season, what you need the photos to do — recruiting, fundraising, press, social, the wall in the locker room — and we come back with a custom quote and a coverage plan scoped to your calendar. Most quotes go out within 24 hours, and gameday galleries are delivered within a few days of the game (or the next morning on rush).

You'll work directly with Jared on every shoot. No account managers, no juniors subbed in at the last minute. The person who shoots your home opener is the person who shoots your tournament run.

WHY HECKRAISER.

— BUILT FOR THE GAME, NOT THE TEMPLATE

Sports photography is fast, low-light, and unforgiving. Long lenses, plexiglass, fluorescent gym lighting, and a 1/2000s shutter speed are the baseline; the rest is timing and access. We've been shooting this work since 2019, and the gallery you get back reads like a season story — not a stock photo set.
