Thirty Tournaments.
A Thousand Athletes.

Sports Photography
Should Look Like Sports
I’m Mark Yessa. Five years of professional work came before this: weddings, ceremonies, real estate and event recaps. Weddings in particular teach you something useful. You get one pass at a room where nothing happens twice, the light is whatever it is, and nobody is doing it again for you.
Tournaments are the same job, faster and colder. The difference is that the people who care most about the photo are standing forty feet away wondering whether anyone got it. That is why the print station exists. A gallery link three weeks later is a receipt. A poster handed to a kid still in their gear is the actual thing.
Capture It Honestly,
Deliver It Fast.
Real Over Staged
Anyone can pose a player and call it action. We shoot the real thing: the sprint, the save, the swing, as it actually happened.
Built For Tournaments
Tournaments do not wait for a photographer. Athletes are tracked by jersey number, frames are reviewed on site, and prints are made at the venue in about 45 seconds.
Every Sport, Every Level
Hockey, soccer, baseball and basketball. Youth, competitive and adult leagues across the GTA and Ontario.
Look First.
Decide After.
Most sports photography sells you a package before you have seen a single frame. This works the other way around.
