Hi, My name is Sixto Sanchez. My love for photography began with a simple gift — a camera placed in my hands by my father. That act of generosity sparked a lifelong journey behind the lens, one that led me straight to the action of a local baseball game at a young age, shooting for a community newspaper and never looking back.
Today, I work as a freelance photographer specializing in sports photography, where every frame tells the story of athletes at their most authentic — raw, focused, and alive. I am driven by a deep passion for capturing those split-second moments that define competition and reveal the human spirit within it.
Beyond the sidelines, I am committed to giving back. I proudly volunteer with organization that serve and strengthen communities, bringing the same dedication to this work as I do to every assignment. I believe photography is a powerful tool for connection — and that it carries a responsibility to shine light on the people and stories that matter most.
What I treasure most about this craft is the interaction and camaraderie it creates. Every shoot is a collaboration, and every subject deserves to be seen at their best. My goal is simple: to make the people in front of my camera feel as remarkable as they truly are.
Recently, I've been covering scholastic sports with Manhasset High School, Axcess Sports and at NYSPHSAA State Championship events. Additionally, you'll find me working with race event organizers EventPower & RaceAwesome at Triathlons, Marathons and the many endurance events they put together throughout Long Island. Contact me with any needs or questions you might have. Stay in touch!
