Kevin Swett: Sports Photography
Soccer: Kevin began shooting his daughters soccer games in Washington State
and quickly became hooked. Now Kevin and his team can be seen at major youth
soccer games and tournaments. At the larger tournaments Kevin brings additional
photographers and the images are processed in a mobile studio. Recently he
was asked to shoot a 75-team soccer tournament in Shelton, Washington. Over
the three-day event, all 75 teams were photographed and some 10,000 images
were shown on his web site for viewing and sale. During that month, the Kevin
Swett website had over 320,000 hits.
Bike Racing: Talk about fast! We started shooting bike races last year. Its
amazing the speed and control these athletes have. The week before the event
we spend considerable time setting up shooting locations at the track to insure
the very finest images. All images are processed and on the Kevin Swett web
site in two days.
Rodeo: Kevin’s favorite. Several years ago we began shooting the National
Finals College Rodeo in Casper Wyoming. I didn’t have any idea we had
college rodeo, but what an event. Athletes come from all of the states to compete.
The intense competition combined with the intense level of the competitors
brings excitement to entire arena. We photographed everything from bulls to
goats to the awards ceremony and foundation auction.
Baseball, football, basketball and softball: If it’s a sport, we shoot
it. Prior preparation and having the finest sports photography equipment insures
results that all will enjoy. Kevin’s team utilizes Canon’s line
of professional sports cameras. These incredible cameras have a shutter speed
between 8 and 10 frames per second. Combine the speed of the camera with the
speed of the Canon professional “L” series lenses and well place
shooting locations and the fun begins.
