the sunshine coast's leading professional photographer
sports events photography information + pricing
Your sporting event only happens once but your images live on forever.
My name is Dave Gleeson and I am the leading action sports photographer on the Sunshine Coast. Over the last 15 years I’ve been trusted by event managers on a huge range of high profile sporting events to deliver expert coverage, amazing images and great service, all while making the process easy for them.
I'm currently (or have recently been) official / head photographer at many local sports events including Noosa Triathlon, Sunshine Coast Marathon, Ultraman Australia, Noosa Ultra Trail, Noosa Enduro, Brisbane Marathon, AFL Masters National Championships, Qld Surf Lifesaving State Titles, Vetshop Surf Dogs, Sunshine Coastrek, Noosa Summer Swim, Coolangatta Classic Swim, Mooloolaba Swim Festival, Hells Gates 38 Ocean Ski Paddle, Noosa Festival of Surfing and many more.
I have an eye for anticipating the action before it happens, creating high impact images that tell the story of every event, capturing the essence of each day and can work solo, or coordinate a team of photographers if needed. I’m reliable & professional, and have the experience to deliver the shots you need, while managing the entire process from start to finish and delivering your gallery of images in hours, not weeks.
Choose the photographer who you can trust to deliver the best images, the best service and the best experience!
