while never having much more to show for it other than the traditional team & individual photo or some snapshots taken by another parent. With this void in his family’s photo album, a simple idea, with a huge opportunity, began.

Using the power and speed of digital photography, a team of Glossy Finish professional photographers and customer service ambassadors cover the action and capture the passion of youth sporting events. The photos are then uploaded in near real time into a state of the art Mobile Photo Lab that allows the families and athletes to come inside to view, purchase and take home their photo products that same day!

Haim graduated from the Brooks Institute of Photography before moving to New York City to pursue his dream of becoming a fashion and beauty photographer. After assisting several well known and highly respected photographers he moved to Milan, Italy in 1991 for a couple of years to start his own career as a shooter. After returning to the United States, Haim continued shooting both editorial and advertising assignments before joining the Internet craze that was just beginning. To meet the new-media demands of his fashion and beauty clients he founded Muffin-Head Productions, an award winning website development company, in 1994.

Having successfully grown Muffin-Head, he sold it in late 1998 to DVC, a marketing and promotions company. Haim stayed on with DVC and ran their interactive creative group until early 2001, when he left to help start a21, a digital content marketplace for the professional creative community. a21 acquired SuperStock, the parent company of several image based companies, where Haim was the President and Chief Creative Officer
