Race Photos That Don’t Suck

I’ve spent years capturing moments that matter, weddings, athletes, business launches, and stories that define people. But when I started photographing races, one thing became painfully clear: most race photos don’t do the moment justice.

You cross the finish line after months of training, adrenaline still high, heart pounding — and the photo that’s supposed to capture it looks like it was taken by a potato. Flat colors. Missed focus. Posted three weeks later. It’s not fair to the effort behind the moment.

That’s why I built something different: RaceCapture.

The Problem

Race photography has always been a volume game.
Thousands of runners, millions of photos, and only a small percentage of buyers.

The typical approach?
Shoot fast, minimize file size, skip editing, and hope for a handful of sales. It’s not about quality — it’s about quantity. And as a result, the photos suffer. The athletes deserve better.

The Solution

My background is in the military, where I led teams at home and overseas, specializing in operations and logistics — systems designed to perform under pressure. I took that same mindset and built a race media system that prioritizes efficiency, precision, and excellence.

At RaceCapture, we:

Hire the best local creators who understand light, energy, and emotion.
Use professional-grade gear built for speed and clarity in all conditions.
Edit every photo through Sean Menezes Photography, ensuring color, tone, and sharpness that meet professional standards.
Deliver photos within hours, not weeks. Athletes finish their race and get their photos while the day still feels alive.
Leverage AI tagging and facial recognition so no one’s missed.
Provide fair pricing that also gives back — with proceeds supporting mental health programs for military and first responders.
