By Phillip Kristiansen — Capturing the heart of the game in Sook

SIDELINE SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHY

I’m Phillip, the photographer behind the camera at Sideline Sports Photography. I specialize in capturing fast-paced, emotional moments that define local sports.

From youth games to tournaments, I turn split-second plays into lasting memories. My goal is to tell each athlete’s story through powerful, action-driven images that celebrate their dedication, passion, and love for the game.

Fact 1

Love for BC + Nature Photography:

I love British Columbia — the mountains, the ocean, and the community spirit. While sports are my focus, I still have a deep appreciation for capturing BC’s wild side when I can.


Fact 2

Portraiture & Candid Moments:

Candid moments are my specialty — I’ve always enjoyed sneaking in shots of friends in their element. It’s probably why I’m drawn to capturing athletes doing what they love.


Fact 3

Simplicity + Lifestyle:

I’m a big believer in the simple things: good people, good food, and being outside. It’s why I love sports photography — real emotion, no filters, no scripts.


Fact 4

I’m not just behind the camera — I’m on your team.

From helping players feel at ease to keeping the vibe fun, I bring more than just a lens to the field.
