Race Directors and Event Organizers
At Focal Flame Photography, we know that the role of Race Director or Event Organizer is high-pressure. You have hundreds to thousands of participants counting on you to provide a safe, enjoyable, memorable experience - and the logistics are endless. Worrying about your event photography service provider is the last thing you need.
When we work with race directors, we provide high-value, high-impact event photography that not only captures smiles of athletes, but leaves a smile on your face as well. Consider us your adjunct marketing department. We leverage social and traditional media to amplify your message, spreading the good word about your great event. We aren't content to snap a few photos and walk away. We get behind the scenes to tell the story of your event.
Above all, we deliver punctual, professional service with unheard-of turnaround time. We provide event photography for traditional running races, theme and novelty races such as costume or holiday 5Ks or events just for women or kids, triathlons, mud runs, bike races, and team sports. Are you organizing a multi-day event such as a bike tour, sports training camp, or ultra-distance race? Consider adding event photography at the beginning or end as a value-added service for your participants to capture great memories. With a variety of products from prints to custom books, we have something for everyone.
Focal Flame Photography is headquartered in Madison, WI and available for assignment in the Midwest and beyond (travel fee may apply). Contact us today to discuss your needs.
Please note: event dates often book a year or more in advance. To avoid disappointment, do not delay in contacting us at clint@thayernet.com.
What Others Are Saying...
“Race Day Events loves having Focal Flame at our races. The pictures he’s taken are the most artistic and beautiful event photos we’ve seen by far; they’ve been great for marketing our events online, and are an awesome memento for our participants.”

“Clint Thayer is not only a gift to our area but he's a gift to sports photography on a much wider scale. His deep affection for understanding the science of photography and the innate sense of composition blend together in beautiful results.
If you look at his portfolio, you see what he can accomplish but my recommendation surpasses those qualities. He is somebody that marries a project and becomes personally involved.
He has the great passion for the subject - just as much as I did. He became a great companion in every project he takes. Whether it was photography for the Madison Shamrock Shuffle, Ironman Wisconsin or my 40th birthday, he pours himself into the art of photography. ”

"Clint and Robyn are fantastic people and amazing at what they do! They always go above and beyond, I highly recommend them to every race organization I'm involved with. Their attention to detail is spectacular and the added value they provide is exceptional, they take the time to understand the organization/cause behind each race and even help promote it through social media."

I received my pictures yesterday and they are spectacular! I had such a great time with my group of "adult-onset athlete" girlfriends and you captured it perfectly! I generally abhor pictures with me in them, but when I looked at these and saw on my face how happy I was that day, how much I love the sport and what I do for "fun" that I had to have them. I'm so glad you were there!
