Sports Portraits

Professional Composite Sports Portraits to Make Your Player Look Like a Hall of Famer!

Are you tired of the same old sports photos?

So were we!

Introducing Sports Portraits by Devine Imageworks – professionally hand-crafted green screen composites featuring high-resolution digital templates and the professional photography of Tim Devine.  Devine Imageworks uses multi-layered digital templates created by leading digital artists to produce top-notch Sports Portraits that will make any athlete look their very best.

Sports Portraits by Devine Imageworks are photographed using professional studio lighting using expert lighting techniques.  Each image is then painstakingly extracted from its background and composited into a high-resolution, multi-layered digital template.  The composite is then blended and color-graded to produce a finished piece that you will be proud to hang on your wall and share with your friends and family on your social media accounts.

Many sports are available, from baseball to football, martial arts to cheerleading.  Dance, ballet, school band, or even regular school photos are no problem – Devine Imageworks has backgrounds to suit any needs.

The Devine Imageworks Difference

Devine Imageworks uses cutting-edge software and top-notch professionally designed backgrounds to create each Sports Portrait.  Whether it is an individual athlete, team banner, or group composite each image is painstakingly created so that the final product far surpasses your expectations.  Templates can also be customized to fit your team’s logo and/ or color scheme – you can even choose whether or not to have player and team names on the photos to give it a poster look!

How It All Works

Devine Imageworks wants to take all of the stress out of picture day for players, parents, and league officials. We are using a top-of-the-line online ordering system that takes away every pain point for everyone involved. Here’s how it works:

• NO ORDER FORMS! No paperwork, no cash or checks, no hassle. Everything is 100% online.

• Every player gets their own unique access code which is tied to your kid’s gallery. Only YOU can see your kids’ photos (plus the team photo).

• Players get photographed for their individual and team photos and then they are done. No standing around waiting for a team picture.

• Once the proofs are ready, parents will receive an email and/or text message along with their own unique link to view and their photos and place their order. You can even share you access code with other family members.

• Photos can be selected, backgrounds can be changed, and products can be ordered.

• Orders get delivered directly to the parent’s house (NO chasing down coaches or league officials).

• It’s really THAT SIMPLE!

• If you want your kids together in their photos you must have them photographed together at the event.

Products include print packages and a-la-carte single photos, water bottles, travel mugs, fridge magnets, and so much more!

Team Banners

Looking for a banner to take on the road with your travel team?  Devine Imageworks does that too!

Devine Imageworks’ unique approach to Sports Portraits lends itself perfectly to creating team banners.  Because each athlete’s photo in the banner is taken from their individual photo and then composited into the banner, every athlete will look their very best.  No more team shots with eyes closed, bad facial expressions, or any other imperfections.

Team banners are printed on heavy-duty vinyl, complete with grommets, to be taken and displayed on road trips – they are also available as traditional photo prints that you can frame and display in your home!

• Can we order more prints after our orders are delivered?
  Of course. Email (tim@devineimageworks.com) or call 609-338-9717. Original files are retained for at least 6 months.

• What methods of payment are available?
  When ordering online, the online payment method is bank cards (processed through Stripe). If paying in person, cards, checks, and cash are accepted. Returned checks will incur a $25.00 insufficient fund fee.

• If I miss photo day – can I still be in the team photo?
  Makeups will be considered on a case-by-case basis and may incur a $25 per athlete make-up fee in addition to the cost of your order.  Sessions must be scheduled within 5 business days after your missed photo day. Please make every attempt to make your scheduled day and time slot.

• How soon will I receive my order?
  All orders are manually revised and processed by Devine Imageworks to ensure that color, cropping, density, sharpness, and other qualities receive a professional & personal touch before your images are released to our integrated third-party professional print labs for production, or before digital download links are released to the customer. Please allow up to 4 weeks for orders to be produced (whether physical or digital) and released by Devine Imageworks. Please note that digital image purchases are not instant downloads.

• Can I view my images first to decide on the best pose?
  YES! Devine Imageworks uses a state-of-the-art online proofing/ ordering system so you can see your images, make your selections, and order your products right from your home computer, tablet, or phone.

• My order is incomplete – now what?
  Please email tim@devineimageworks.com if your order has missing or damaged items.

• I don’t plan on ordering anything. Does my kid still need to go to picture day and why?
  Even if you don’t plan on ordering any photos, your athlete should still go to picture day so they can be included in the team photo. Simply tell the photographer that you are only there for the team photo and we will handle that accordingly. There is nothing worse than giving a sponsor a thank-you picture with half of the kids missing.

• What can I do to make picture day go quicker?
  Please make sure your athlete is looking their very best BEFORE it is their time on-set. This includes making sure their hair looks great, uniforms look sharp, and all needed equipment is ready to go while you are waiting for your turn instead of waiting until your athlete is on-set and then fixing their hair and uniforms. Also, please do not coach your kids while they are on set (telling them to smile, trying to make them laugh, etc.) because they will be looking at you and not concentrating on the photographer. Devine Imageworks photographs thousands of kids per year and has many years of experience. These little things can help save time which begins to add up throughout the picture sessions.

• Can I take a photo with my own camera or cell phone?

  Personal photography is not permitted during the athlete’s photo session. Devine Imageworks has been entrusted to make your athlete look his or her very best - taking your photos during the session is a sure way to distract your child and it also disrupts the rapport between the subject & photographer. It also adds time to each session which makes it difficult to stay on schedule. If this becomes a distraction, you may be asked to leave the picture area if you are using a cell phone while the photographer is working. Please respect our professionals’ time and talent and maintain this simple courtesy.

• Can I get photos of my kids together?

  If you only want your kids posed together (and do not want individuals), please tell the photographer. If you want your kids together in the photo, they must pose together in the photo. Due to time constraints, kids cannot be posed (Photoshopped) together after the photos are taken.
