James Maclennan - Canon EF 300mm F/2.8L II

About

I deliver publication-quality sports photography. Clean, sharp, and ready for print or screen. My background is in photojournalism, working for daily newspapers across Canada. That training shaped how I work today. I read the game, anticipate the moment, and deliver images that meet editorial standards.

Focus

Baseball Action
Tennis Baseball Catcher With Studio Lighting Volleyball Team Photo

I shoot hockey, baseball, football, soccer, basketball. Any sport, any level. My focus is on action, but I capture the full picture. Bench moments, warmups, celebrations, the stuff that tells the story beyond the play.

My work combines editorial precision with a journalist's instinct for the decisive moment. Images that meet publication standards and convey the narrative of competition.

My Advantage

Football Action
Baseball Baseball Baseball

I bring the same professional standards to every shoot, whether it's the CFL, the NHL, or a U15 game in St. Albert. Your athlete gets the same focus, skill, and equipment that photo desks demand at the pro level.

If you want your athlete to look like they belong in the big leagues, that's what I'm here for.

Quick Delivery

You shouldn't wait two weeks for your photos. I typically deliver within 12 hours of your event, never more than 24. For gameday coverage, I can deliver between periods and immediately after the final whistle.

FAQ

  • No. I focus on delivering high-quality coverage by limiting myself to 2–3 games per day. Tournament schedules don't allow me to maintain the consistency and attention each game deserves.
  • Yes. I shoot team photos on location with lighting for a polished, high-quality look. No green screens, no gimmicks. I work efficiently and can often complete team portraits and individual shots in as little as 30 minutes.
  • Typical turnaround is under 24 hours. For gameday coverage, I can deliver images between periods or immediately after the event.
  • You'll typically get 60+ edited images from the game, often much more depending on the sport, how the action unfolds, and venue conditions. I don't set artificial limits or upsell you on extras. You get every strong shot from the event: no package schemes, no tiers, no hidden fees.
  • I shoot with flagship Canon mirrorless cameras and only with professional Canon L-series lenses like the 70-200mm f/2.8L, 300mm f/2.8L, and 400mm f/2.8L.
  • All images are delivered at print-ready resolution and quality. You can take them to any print shop of your choice. I don't currently offer printing services.
  • My skills, equipment, and focus are dedicated entirely to sports photography. If you really think my style fits your project, feel free to reach out.
