Question 1

What sporting events do you photograph?

Accepted Answer

I shoot everything where there is movement, emotion and rivalry:
 • major international tournaments ( tennis , football, athletics, cycling, etc.),
 • national and regional championships,
 • children's and school competitions,
 • amateur races, corporate starts, festivals and demonstration performances.
If it's sports related, from a marathon to street basketball, I can capture the atmosphere, the excitement and the key moments.

Question 2

Do you only work in Spain?

Accepted Answer

My base is Spain and I shoot most of the events here. But I regularly travel to other European countries to shoot - whether it's an invitation to an international tournament or an order from a team/organizer.
If your event is outside of Spain, we will discuss logistics and all organizational aspects (flights, accommodation, transportation on site).

Question 3

Do you film amateur and children's competitions?

Accepted Answer

Yes! In fact, in such events the emotions are sometimes even brighter than at the professional level: the joy of the first victories, the support of parents, children's smiles and tears of joy. I understand how important it is to capture these moments, and I do it with special care, especially when working with children.

Question 4

How do I book a photo shoot date?

Accepted Answer

It's simple:
1. You contact me via the form on the website, WhatsApp or email.
2. We discuss the details: date, place, duration, format, special requests.
3. I secure the date after receiving the advance payment - so you are sure that I will be at your event on the right day.

Question 5

How much does the shooting cost?

Accepted Answer

The price varies from 100 to 2000 euros and depends on:
 • duration of the event,
 • locations,
 • number of participants,
 • complexity of the task (for example, night shooting or quick provision of photos, shooting a large event over several days).
The basic price includes: shooting, selection of the best shots, basic processing and file transfer. If you need express transfer of photos, printed albums, posters or personal portraits, this is discussed separately.

Question 6

How long does it take to process photos?

Accepted Answer

Usually 2-5 working days. This time is spent on carefully selecting the best shots, correcting color, light, and framing.
If you need photos for publication on the same day , I can make a selection of 10-20 best shots by the evening (express delivery option).

Question 7

How do you deliver finished photos?

Accepted Answer

I transfer finished photos via a secure online gallery, where you can view, download and, if desired, order printing.
Files are always in high resolution, ready for both printing in an album and publishing on social networks.

Question 8

Why is it better to hire a photographer than to shoot on your phone?

Accepted Answer

A phone is convenient, but it is not designed for shooting fast, dynamic sports. On a phone, the ball in flight is blurry, the athletes are "blurred", and indoors or in the evening, the photos lose quality. A professional photographer uses:
 • cameras with continuous shooting up to 20-30 frames per second,
 • high-aperture lenses that provide a clear shot even in the twilight,
 • skills to anticipate the moment when a key action will occur.
This allows you to catch the moment of impact, the finishing emotion or the joy of victory without blurring or missing.

Question 9

What equipment do you use?

Accepted Answer

Professional equipment from Nikon, the leader in the photography market. High-speed D5 SLR cameras, top telephoto lenses (18-24, 24-70, 70–200, 200-500 mm), teleconverters, memory cards and batteries, flash units, rain protection and monopods.
I am always ready for any conditions: from bright sun to pouring rain or evening stadium lights.

Question 10

Will you be able to focus on my performance if there are many participants?

Accepted Answer

Yes - if you order a personal shoot, I track you: your serves, your runs, your emotions. Even in a marathon with 10,000 participants, you will get shots where you are the center of attention.

Question 11

Do you shoot in bad weather or difficult lighting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. My equipment is protected from moisture and dust, and my experience allows me to shoot in the rain and in dim artificial light. On the contrary, sometimes difficult conditions give unique shots - with rain splashes or an atmospheric sunset.

Question 12

Is it possible to agree in advance what personnel are needed?

Accepted Answer

Of course. We can discuss in advance:
 • whether you want more dynamics or portraits,
 • Do you need photos with fans, coach, family,
 • priority moments (awarding, certain stages of the competition).

Question 13

Do you do individual photo sessions for athletes?

Accepted Answer

Yes - in sportswear, during training, in the arena or studio. This is suitable for personal portfolio, social media or sponsorship materials.

Question 14

Can you provide a turnkey event for the organizer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This report includes everything:
 • preparation,
 • behind the scenes,
 • the competition itself,
 • audience reaction,
 • award ceremony. This is a ready-made photo package for the media, social networks and press releases.

Question 15

Can photos be used for advertising and media?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but the terms of use are discussed in advance. Commercial use (e.g. brand advertising) may require a separate agreement.

Question 16

Do people need consent to be filmed?

Accepted Answer

At public events, consent for photography is not required - this applies to both adults and children.
If the event is closed or private, the issue of consent and filming rules is resolved with the organizers.

Question 17

What if the event is closed?

Accepted Answer

I can only film with permission from the organizers. Sometimes this requires being on the invite list in advance or having a separate pass.

Question 18

Is accreditation required for major tournaments?

Accepted Answer

As a rule, yes. The organizers issue accreditation to photographers, and you need to request it in advance. I can handle this process, but the decision always remains with the organizing committee.

Question 19

What to do if an event is cancelled or postponed?

Accepted Answer

We reschedule the shoot to a new date or return the advance payment - everything according to the terms of the contract, as transparently as possible.

Question 20

How quickly can you get photos for social networks?

Accepted Answer

I can send a mini-selection of the best shots in the evening of the same day, and a full album within 2-5 days.

Question 21

I didn't find the answer I was looking for here!

Accepted Answer

No problem. Write to me in any convenient way or call, I will answer your question too 😉
