Reggie McLeroy, a renowned artist and award-winning photographer who has become a beloved figure in the local community, has officially launched his new website where families and sports fans can purchase professional photographs captured during various sporting events. The new platform, accessible at www.reggiemcleroy.com, represents a significant step forward in making McLeroy's high-quality sports photography more accessible to the public.
"I'm happy to be able to do this," McLeroy said about the launch of his new online platform. "Now, it's going to be very easy for people to order pictures. They can be ordered straight from the website." The photographer emphasized that this new system will streamline the purchasing process, eliminating many of the previous barriers that customers faced when trying to obtain copies of his work.
In addition to offering existing photographs through his website, McLeroy is also willing to take custom pictures if requests are made ahead of time. Customers can reach him directly by email at reggiemcleroy@gmail.com to discuss specific photography needs or to inquire about images that may not be readily visible on the website.
"If a parent goes through the photos that are on my website and they don't find many or any photos of their specific player, they can contact me via email at reggiemcleroy@gmail.com," McLeroy explained. "At that point, I will search my catalog of all the games and see if I have some pictures of that player. Now, that process takes a while but once I'm finished, I will get back in contact with them and arrange a meeting so that I can show them what I have."
The photographer has developed a personalized service approach for customers seeking specific images. "Whatever they choose to purchase, I will put those photos on a thumb drive for them while we're there," McLeroy said. "The price of the photo or photos depends on how many they decide to purchase plus the thumb drive." This hands-on approach ensures that customers receive exactly what they're looking for while maintaining the high quality standards that have made McLeroy's work so popular.
McLeroy specializes primarily in action photography, focusing on capturing the dynamic moments that occur during gameplay. "I will also say that 99 percent of the photos that I take are action photos on the field," he noted. "I'm sorry, but I don't take any sideline photos unless they are requested ahead of time." This specialization has allowed him to develop expertise in capturing the most exciting and memorable moments of athletic competition.
Looking ahead, McLeroy plans to continue expanding his coverage throughout the region. He will be taking sports pictures at different schools and sporting events in Lincoln Parish and the surrounding area to add to his website collection. To protect his intellectual property while allowing customers to preview available images, pictures on the website will feature a watermark prior to purchase. However, once an order has been made, the watermark will be removed from the final product, ensuring customers receive clean, professional-quality images suitable for display or sharing.
