Hi!,
I have been taking photography classes in college for a year now. Over the past few months I have been photographing the local high schools tennis matches. I would really love to get a media pass for the Legg Mason Tennis Classic, but when I looked at the application it said, "Please note that we cannot accept freelance requests for credentials. All freelancers must be assigned by an accredited media organization with a letter from the assignment editor or producer from that media outlet." I was wondering what is the best way to get associated with a accredited media organization so that I can submit the application. I was thinking to ask my college newspaper, local newspaper, and if those fail I have a good friend that has a tennis blog so I would ask him. Do those sound like good ideas? What would you recommend that I do to get the media credentials?
P.S. I look forward to spending countless hours on thephotoforum!
Thanks
Carlos
