As another of my segments on paintball and the positive promotion of the game, what better way to promote paintball than by displaying all those cool pictures taken at the last big game or speedball tournament?
Visual records of the game are a great way not only to remember each and every event but excite others into possibly enjoying a game themselves. The following is a show case of a few different photographers I know who have become what I like to term The Paparazzi of Paintball.

Anyone can own a camera and snap a photo or two…as a photographer it takes real skill to capture those epic shots of scenario paintball players in action.
Bill provides quality work at extremely reasonable prices and can be contacted directly by emailing vephoto@live.ca
PB Photoz with Paul Forcier – In this economy I started taking pictures when I did not have the funds to play the sport. Being able to be a part of the game in any aspect keeps me happy. Being able to write and express myself to thousands of other paintball players is just a bonus. This sport has been pulsing through my veins for nearly 10 years and it does not seem to have an end in sight. Being published in PaintballX3 magazine is an accomplishment I never thought I would see. Looking back on my paintball “career” and seeing how far I have come from my roots in the woods behind the house is like a Cinderella story. From being just a guy playing with family and friends, to becoming Co-Captain of a team that gets tons of name recognition. Paintball is my lifestyle, yes lifestyle. Those of us that play understand this. Day in and day out I find myself reading about paintball, dreaming about paintball and waiting for the next time I am able to sling some paint.

Stephanie Conrod Photography I have resided in the Owen Sound region of Ontario, Canada for my entire life. I first got the photo bug snapping photos in 2005 with a point and shoot camera. Since that time I have upgraded to a DSLR setup. What began as a hobby has become a passion. My early photography work was mostly nature shots, currently I am into filming portraits, weddings, nature, paintballing and fine art. To date I have had 6 photos in OSCVI’s 2007 Art exhibition and have recently photographed 3 events at Stoney Keppel Paintball. One day I hope to take photographs on more of a professional level. To contact Stephanie please email stephanieconrod@gmail.com and to view some of her work please visit www.sconrodphotography.googlepages.com and on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Owen-Sound-ON/Stephanie-Conrod-Photography/30464226391?ref=ts
Glen Morris Mercenaries While not in the photography business per se it is important to The Glen Morris Mercenaries to maintain a visual record of many of their activities for purposes of posterity. The Mercenaries photo vault numbers into the thousands of photos since the acquisition of a digital camera in 2005. The Glen Morris Mercenaries fill the web photo galleries each season with a few good photos that they love to share with all their friends and associates. For photos from this years events and to view a few from last year currently posted on the website please visit http://www.glenmorrismercenaries.com/MercsPhotos.php
If you have access to a photographer or own a camera, take the risk and get out there and snap a few pictures of each game…its a great way to promote paintball.
