Rival Imaging shoots team photo days, individual and senior portraits, media days and styled shoots in uniform for youth, high school and college athletes on the North Shore and around Greater Boston. Every shoot is quoted, and asking is free.
Team shoots are booked by a coach, a team parent, a league or an athletic department. Portraits are booked by the family. Everything here is quoted, because a whole rec league and one senior need very different days.
Quotedfor your league or team
For leagues, coaches and athletic departments. Every team and every player on one set day, scheduled around your practices.
Quotedone athlete
For one athlete, booked by the family. Their own uniform and their own number. For seniors, the last season in their colors, at their home field or court.
Quotedfor your roster
For high school athletic departments, college programs and leagues. The preseason shoot the pros do, for your whole roster.
Quotedone athlete
For the athlete who wants something planned: a signing day portrait, a recruiting profile, the one that gets framed in the hallway.
Asking is free. Send the date, the place and who's in it, and Michael gets back to you within a day with a quote. Want game action instead? See action sports photography or the Rival price list.
For coaches and league boards: the plan from the first email to the last team.
Send the date, the place and how many teams through the contact page. Michael comes back within a day with a quote that spells out what every family gets.
Every team gets its own time slot. The league or coach passes it on to families with one rule for what to wear: the full game uniform, clean and complete.
In its slot, each team gets the whole roster and the coaches together, and every player gets a portrait of their own. Michael sets the rows so every face reads, from the back row to the kids kneeling up front.
Rival covers league games at no cost to the league. Families buy only the game photos they want, and the league picks its share: a cut of every sale, or free team photos.
If your board would rather not handle the money, the team photos are the share. In return, Rival is the league's exclusive game photographer and videographer for the season. Parents can always shoot their own kids.
Rival Imaging is Michael Rotiroti, a cinematographer and photographer based in Peabody. Before Rival, his camera was on HBO, NESN and NBC Sports Boston. Your team's picture day gets the same eye.
The ones parents and coaches ask first. Anything else, ask Michael.
Team photo days are quoted, because the number of teams, the date and the place all change the price. Asking is free.
If your league brings Rival in for its games, it can take free team photos as its share instead of a cut of sales. How Rival works with leagues
The full game uniform, clean and complete, the way they'd take the field. Socks pulled up, jersey on straight.
For senior portraits and styled shoots, talk through the look with Michael when you ask for the quote.
Close. Both are planned portraits of one athlete in uniform, quoted ahead of time. A senior portrait is built around the last season: their jersey, their number, their home field. A styled shoot can be whatever you're picturing, like a signing day portrait or a recruiting profile.
Not without an OK. Galleries are unlisted and kept out of Google, and nothing of an athlete 12 or under goes on Rival's social media, in an ad or on the website without a written OK from a parent, the team or the coach. Read the photo policy
The North Shore and Greater Boston are included. Shoots more than 45 minutes from Peabody may add a travel fee, quoted up front. Anywhere else in New England, ask.
