FAQ
What do athletes receive?
Athletes will receive a collection of digital images. They get all images of themselves that meet our professional standard, a minimum of 5, but likely, more than that. A variety of print products, including banners, will be available at an additional cost.
Where will our Media Day take place?
Typically, the Media Day location for your group of athletes would be at their athletic facility. Depending on the sport, it might be outdoors at a ballfield or indoors in a gymnasium or locker room. Might be at a pool, or a dance studio. We can also get creative to make something work if we need to. Ultimately, it will be up to the coaches or group leaders to secure a suitable location.
When will the images be ready?
Images will be processed and ready for viewing within 3 business days.
How will I receive my images?
Images will be shared via a shared Google Drive Folder. We’ll provide further instructions when your images are ready.
What is the difference between Media Day and our regular team & player picture days?
Leatherhead Sports Media’s Youth Athlete Media Day is a custom, magazine-style photoshoot where we take significantly more time with each athlete. This allows for more creative posing and collaboration with each athlete. Yes, we welcome and encourage their input! The setup tends to be more elaborate and we incorporate extra props & equipment. Typically, more time and care with the location/background is involved. It’s a fun and immersive experience for the kids and coaches, and builds comradery and self-confidence. In contrast, our regular league picture days are akin to school picture day. We work with much higher volumes of kids, and typically only spend 2-3 minutes per athlete. Additionally, there are no up-front costs.
Do you photograph coaches on Media Day? Are there any costs for coaches?
While the main focus is on the athletes at Media Day, we do include coaches if they would like to be in a photo here and there. Typically, this would be in small groupings or team shots. There is no additional cost for these types of images.
How can we get those cool gameday & hype graphics?
“Gameday” graphics are included with the purchase of a banner. You can view our banner pricing, here. We also create a Photoday gallery as we do for league, team & player photos. The gallery has some graphics options, as well.
