Looking for Sports Photographers/ Chicago Area-DuPage County

[Guido44]

Hi All,

I have been working hard a promoting my Sports Photography business.

For the time being, I only have some small events lined up, but I have a couple of prospects that I will need some help with. I've been asked, (nothing finalized) if I could shoot some baseball tournaments at a local college. It's on weekends (Fri,Sat,Sun) , maybe even some Wednesday,Thursday, shooting.

I offer onsite photo viewing and printing as a way to get exposure to the local sports leagues.

So, if you have experience as a sports shooter, please shoot me a PM.

1. Please include your hourly rate. You'd be an 'independent contractor', so you would take care of your own taxes.
2. Please include a link to some of your sports photos, so I can see your work.
3. I'd also like to know what camera and lenses you'd be shooting with.

Thanks,

Dan

Guido44, do you have a web site? It may help you attract photographers in your area if they know what kind of sports work they would be shooting?

 

[Guido44]

Yes. Your right. It used to be on all my posts, as my signature. I don't remember changing it. But, here it is now.

Youth Sports mostly.

Your site is setup pretty well for online sales, good luck with finding a second shooter. I'm a country away from offering any help. I know it's a lot of work running a business like this, especially looking after all the print side, the direct downloads certainly are easier. I run both off my site, but 99% are direct downloads.
