Team Photos with Basketball Hawthorn
It is exciting for the team at Melbourne Sports Photography to be working with Basketball Hawthorn again this season. This is the 4th year we have partnered with Basketball Hawthorn to shoot team photos and individual portraits for the Hawthorn Magic teams.
Last weekend we completed the photo shoot. It was super to see lots of smiling faces among the magicians, who are now well underway with grading for the 2023 season. The Melbourne Sports Photography team are now working on editing those images.
The 2023 team photo design is exciting and different to what we have done for Magic before. We will be busy over the Christmas and New Year break and expect prints to be ready prior to your first game in the new year.
Thanks for having us again this year Basketball Hawthorn and Hawthorn Magic! All the best for the 2023 VJBL season.
Photographing the Victorian Figure Skating Championships
Photographing the Victorian Figure Skating Championships and Southern Cross Trophy 2022 was an exciting assignment for the Melbourne Sports Photography team.
The event was held at the O'brien Icehouse in Docklands, Melbourne featuring the best figure skaters from Victoria, and several skaters who had traveled from interstate. The competition was held over 2 days, with many of the images highlighting the skill, strength, balance and coordination of the skaters.
Thank you to Ice Skating Victoria and the skaters who made us feel welcome. We have thawed out now (!) and will come well prepared for the cool conditions next to the ice next time!
Congratulations to the organisers and the participants for an excellent competition. The Melbourne Sports Photography team hope to see you again in the future.

Photographing the FIBA World Cup Qualifiers Basketball
June finished and July started with an exciting assignment for the Melbourne Sports Photography team - covering the FIBA World Cup Qualifiers at John Cain Arena. The tournament featured teams from Australia, China, Chinese Taipei, and Japan.
There was some terrific basketball across multiple games. It was great to see the games well attended and the support for the team from China, with several international stars, was notable.
The Australian Boomers were naturally popular with the home crowd and performed well across the series. They were undefeated.
For the Melbourne Sports Photography team, our photographers are possibly the only ones in Melbourne who have shot under 12's through to national teams in basketball over the last 3 months. The game is the same, but the photography challenge is quite different, and we have enjoyed it all!
Many people have commented that they like the images from the FIBA World Cup Qualifier tournament. Thank you for the support!
