About Sports Action Photography

   Steve Babineau grew up in Cambridge, MA with a passion for sports. While participating in highschool hockey and baseball, and later semi-pro baseball, Steve took up sports photography as a hobby. An avid fan of Bobby Orr and the Big Bad Bruins, he started bringing his camera to Bruins games with a dream of one day becoming team photographer.
   Steve's first break came in 1972, when The Hockey News credentialed him to photograph games of the World Hockey Association. Soon, Steve's photos were seen on hockey cards and on the covers of other publications, such as Hockey Digest. One of Steve's most famous published photographs is Wayne Gretzky's rookie card, produced by the Topps Company.
   In 1978 Steve's dream came true when the Bruins hired him as their color photographer, a position he now shares with his son, Brian. In 1980 Steve expanded to Major League Baseball when he became a staff photographer for the Fleer Baseball Card Company, a position he held for 14 years.
   Steve does charity work for the Bridge School in Hillsbourough CA, a school for physically challenged children, which was founded by rock icon Neil Young, and his wife Pegi. Steve's library of Neil Young photographs boasts more than 5,000 images and dates back to 1970. He sells a limited edition series of photographs of Neil in concert which are signed by Neil, and another collection of photographs, 8x10 photos that are sold unsigned. All the proceeds from Neil Young photographs are donated to the Bridge School. To date, Steve has raised over $82,000 dollars with this project.
   Sports Action Photography has become one of the largest suppliers of hockey photography in the world. Steve works with a number of NHL photographers in marketing their pictures through his company.
   Brian Babineau started shooting with his father while still a junior in high school in 1993-4. In his first year photographing the Boston Bruins in the old Garden, his photos graced the covers of The Hockey News, The Sporting News, hockey cards, posters, magazines and the cover of the 1994 EA Sports Hockey PC game box when he was only 16. Today Steve and Brian are the Team Photographers for the Boston Bruins, Boston Red Sox, Boston Celtics, Manchester Monarchs (AHL), Worcester Ice Cats (AHL), Portland Pirates (AHL), and the TD Banknorth Garden house photographer. Their photographs have been published worldwide in all kinds of media.
   In addition to internationally published photographs...Sports Action Photography has their own line of limited edition photos, and their own line of "NHL Career prints" all which can be viewed and purchased at www.sportsactionimages.com.
