If you’ve ever crossed the finish line at a community race in Ottawa and wished someone had captured that moment, the sweat, the grit, the pride, that’s where we come in.
I’m Sean Menezes. Over the past few years, my team and I have been building something different. We’re not just photographers. We’re community-driven creators with one mission: to give local races and grassroots fitness events the kind of media usually reserved for the big-name events.
What We Offer
📸 Pro-Level Race Media
We provide full-spectrum coverage: high-quality race photos, cinematic video reels, drone flyovers, and livestreams. Everything is handled by a crew that understands what it’s like to be an athlete, a coach, or a race organizer juggling ten things at once on game day.
🧠 Smart Delivery with Facial Recognition
We use systems similar to the big players. Race-day galleries are powered by facial recognition so your athletes can quickly find and download their photos, often within an hour of crossing the finish line.
💥 Photos That Don’t Suck
This is where we set ourselves apart. We don’t mass-fire JPEGs from the sidelines and call it a day. Every image is shot in RAW, edited with intention, and delivered at full quality. Whether your athlete wants to post it, print it, or frame it, they’ll be getting something worth keeping.
What Makes Us Different?
We’re not an outsourced media team with no ties to your gym, your athletes, or your community. We live here. We lift here. We run the same hills, sweat on the same mats, and line up at the same local start lines. When we show up to shoot your event, we put in real work to tell your story.
Here’s what you get when you work with us:
- Local Creators Who Care
This isn’t a side hustle. This is our craft. Built by Sean Menezes Photography, our work starts and ends with a love for the sport, the athlete, and the community behind them. We don’t believe in phoning it in. - Same-Day Delivery, Full Quality
Most race photographers skip the editing, shoot in JPEG, and compress your photo. We shoot RAW, color grade every image, and deliver on race day. Fast doesn’t have to mean sloppy. - Creative, Thoughtful Shots
We’re not just snapping a bunch of mid-sprint photos and calling it content. Every image we deliver is curated and edited by someone who understands composition, lighting, and timing. We want athletes to be proud of what they receive.
Organizers, Let’s Grow This Together
If you’re an event organizer in Ottawa or anywhere in Ontario, we’d love to partner with you. Media isn’t just a bonus anymore. It’s how you grow. People want to see themselves doing something hard, captured in a way that feels powerful.
Good media gets people talking. It brings athletes back the following year. It tells the story of your event in a way that spreadsheets and medals can’t.
Let’s Chat
We’re currently booking for upcoming races in Ottawa and across Ontario. If you’re organizing something like a HYROX sim, a trail race, a fitness throwdown, or anything in between, we want to help you take it to the next level.
📧 Reach out. Let’s build something great together.
Until then, keep training, keep building community, and we’ll see you at the start line or behind the lens.
