Absolutely terrible. How can Ironman use this company for their photos??? I pre-purchased a coupon to download my photos. They say you can use a selfie search but it only showed a limited amount of photos. Also the GPX file upload did not show any of my photos. Then after hours of digging through the total amount of photos I found about 10 more photos of me for a total of 27 photos. When I used my coupon at check-out, suddenly there were only 15 photos in my profile. Where's the rest???

HYROX EVENT
Sportograf took photos at Hyrox Johannesburg and I must say I am not happy with the quality and the photos. I have multiple duplicates of the same photo. Which I feel I paid for a service and wanted quality and I didn't receive it.
My recommendation to anyone participating in Hyrox do NOT purchase the photographer package, rather bring along someone to take photos on your phone, you will get better quality photos

Have to pay double for a service they say is included
Cannot download tagged photos of me even though I bought the full package. They explicitly advertise that this is possible - they even encourage it. So all photos of me entering and exiting the swim section of a major triathlon event are not available unless I pay for them again.
I have tried with customer service many times. They keep emailing me asking if the issue has been resolved - to which I reply every time : No.
I have seldom experienced such frustrating and poor customer service. They are clearly not a serious company. I will never buy from them again.

Worst customer support ever
Contacted customer support.
Since over 5 months no reponse, only questions if it has been resolved.

Takes ages to download high-resolution…
Takes ages to download high-resolution photo I just bought :| Selection process is tedious, overall disappointing and dated experience.

Do Not Pre-Purchase Photos
I pre-purchased a photo package for a Deka Fit event. The advertising claimed that there would be many photos taken, up to 40. I ended up with only 2 photos of myself. And they are not even good quality photos. It's not worth the $30 I paid. Sportograf will not respond to my emails, and I do not see a way to call them since they are overseas. Deka Fit also refuses to help me and say that they will not budge on their no refund policy.

You won't be able to access your photos
I have reached out numerous times regarding the fact that the photos Sportograf approved as me have not been linked to my account. The event advertised by buying the package, you would receive all the photos of you. This is not happening. I have received a few, with over 20 I can't access. Also, they stated they would have automatic cameras set up along the course to provide more opportunities for photos, but this was not true. If you participate in Tough Mudder, unless you are all alone at the obstacle, there probably won't be many photos of you. Maybe a lot of blurred in the background, but not many of you. The photographer will focus on one person as they do the obstacle, and that one person will get 15-20 photos, while you're blurred behind. I would recommend waiting until after the event to see if there are even any of you before you purchase the package. As of this writing, there was no cost difference between pre- or post-purchasing.
If you do need to reach out, your only option is via email. They will immediately send you a confirmation email saying they received it and will get back to you, but they will not. I have sent a handful of emails over the last 3 weeks, trying to access my photos; they have not responded to one.

THEY ARE SO SLOW WITH UPLOADING
THEY ARE SO SLOW, with uploading photos. It's takes days, to a week. It's a really outdated way of working and they are very much surpassed with how Spartan is doing their photos in Asia, which as available in real-time, so you can post it along with your social media. It's live and IN the moment. By the time you get your Sportfograf photos, it's already passed the moment of posting really. They are really ancient, not fitting this day and age of digital and social media. I dont understand why big event s like UTMB and Hyrox are even using them.
