Your performance speaks. Let your image close the deal.

Most athletes say the same thing. You’re trained to perform, not to pose. I direct every shot like a coach giving a technical cue, not a photographer asking you to feel something. The performance mindset you already have translates once you know what’s expected.

90 minutes for the Starting Reveal. 180 minutes for the Sponsorship Reveal. The Legacy Reveal can run up to 4 hours, including look and location changes.

One free reschedule up to 7 days before the session. Weather reschedules on outdoor work carry no penalty at all. Deposits hold the date and aren’t refundable, so the earlier you tell me, the easier it is to move.

Two different jobs. The action shots in your package are staged or studio-controlled: you in motion, in kit, captured in a session built around the camera. They show discipline and presence. Match-Day is photography of you actually competing or training in a real environment. It shows you doing the thing you’re known for. A strong sponsor deck usually wants both.

Yes. Personal usage rights cover sponsor proposals, media kits, social, your website, your own platforms, and your own promotional material. Anything about your career and your own brand. I keep the copyright, and you can use every image for your career, with no expiry.

If a sponsor or third party wants to license the images for their own commercial use, meaning their advertising, their packaging, their channels, that’s a separate licence and a separate conversation. Most athletes never need it. If a brand asks, put them in touch, and it gets handled from there.

Professional Headshots are clean, sponsor-ready portraits. They’re what goes in media kits and official materials. Brand Images are lifestyle, training, and editorial shots that show personality and athletic context, and are used to build your social presence and tell your story.

Yes, as the Match-Day add-on, starting at $300. It requires coordination with your club or venue and depends on access permissions. Standard packages focus on controlled studio and environmental sessions because consistency is easier to guarantee.

Standard delivery is 10 to 14 days. Rapid Delivery from $400 brings the full gallery to 5 to 7 days. If you have a fixed sponsor deadline, say so when you book, and I’ll build the schedule around it.

A 50% deposit secures your date, with the balance due before the shoot. Pay in full upfront and save 5%. Afterpay is accepted. Details come through when you book.

Most athletes need portrait, action, and lifestyle covered in a single session. Which tier fits depends on how many looks the deck needs, how much time your training block will give you, and who you’re pitching to.

Book the free call, and I’ll tell you which one fits. If none of them do, I’ll say so.

Premier Portraits is run by Nick Schoeffler, a Melbourne athlete personal brand photographer who has been photographing since 1993. He also spent 22 years at Microsoft and Google, trained in editorial styling through the Australian Style Institute, and worked as a technical diving instructor for 10 years. For athletes, that means sessions that run on time, a brief that gets followed, and images built around agency and sponsorship submissions rather than a photographer’s preferences.
