Welcome to Court Capture!
Basketball Photography – Illawarra
Court Capture is a specialist basketball photography service for Illawarra Hawks junior competitions — Domestic, SJL, and JPL — where you commission Simon Bayliss directly to follow your athlete courtside, so you can watch the game instead of recording it through your phone. Private online galleries, professional indoor-lighting edits, and team packages from $20 per player through to full tournament coverage, all fully insured and operating with venue and parental permissions.
High‑performance, story‑driven photography for Illawarra Hawks juniors across Domestic, SJL and JPL competitions.
You commission me directly to follow your athlete, so you can enjoy the game not watching it through your phone.
Local, insured, and courtside for the moments you don't want to miss.
How It Works
- ✅ Commissioned per child – you book me specifically for your athlete.
- ✅ I cover selected games, finals or an entire weekend.
- ✅ You receive a private online gallery of edited images, with options to order prints and wall art.
Pre‑Rep Season: Individual & Fun Team Shots
Before the rep season starts, I offer relaxed portrait and team sessions that capture personality, team spirit, and individual player pride.
Fun Team Session – $20 per player
- On‑court or outdoor location (Snakepit, local parks, or indoor stadium) – fun, personality‑driven shots
- Each player receives a small set of edited digital images via a team gallery
- Ideal for use on social media, player profiles, or season memories
Minimum numbers apply. Available for Illawarra Hawks teams by arrangement with the coach or team manager.
Team Game Coverage – The Whole Squad, Every Moment
Want every player on the team covered - not just one? The Team Game Coverage package is designed for coaches, team managers, or a group of parents who want the entire squad photographed across a game or two, without the cost of individual commissions. I focus solely on your team throughout the booking - every player gets their moment in the frame.
Team Package – $100 per player (inc. GST)
Minimum 7 players required.
What's included:
- Coverage of 1–2 games focused entirely on your team
- Every rostered player featured across the gallery
- Minimum 15 professionally edited images per player
- Shared team gallery – all participating families receive access
- Individual player sub‑galleries available on request
- Social‑media‑ready files included
How it works:
- Register interest below - nominate your team, competition, and preferred round
- Once the minimum numbers are confirmed (7 players), I lock in the booking
- Each family pays their $100 share directly - no need for one person to front the full cost
- The gallery is shared with all participating families within 14 days of the game
Available for Domestic, SJL and JPL competitions. Bookings are subject to availability - register your interest early to secure your round.
