SPORTS AND ACTIVE

SPORTS & ATHLETE PHOTOGRAPHY

Sports photography is not about freezing a moment. It's about capturing the energy, the focus, and the story behind the athlete — the frame that makes you feel what they feel.

Mauricio Candela is a Miami-based commercial sports photographer and director specializing in athlete photography, sports advertising campaigns, activewear campaigns, and sports marketing content for brands, agencies, and talent representation. With decades of experience in advertising and a background as a creative director, every image is built with both cinematic instinct and strategic intent.

His sports photography portfolio spans professional boxing, basketball, soccer, baseball, fitness, and active lifestyle — working with professional athletes, brand ambassadors, and real people who move. Clients include the NBA Players Association (NBPA), Orlando Magic, Serena Williams, Canelo Alvarez, Miami Marlins, Tom Brady and major global brands. Whether it's a high-intensity studio shoot, an on-location action sequence, or an athlete portrait for a major advertising campaign, Mauricio brings the same level of preparation, precision, and energy to every production.

Clients include some of the world's most recognized sports and lifestyle brands, working alongside agencies such as TBWA, Alma DDB, Lopez Negrete, and McCann on campaigns that run across the United States, Latin America, and globally.

Available for sports photography productions, athlete portraiture, activewear campaigns, and sports marketing content in Miami, Los Angeles, New York, and worldwide.
