Hello,
My name is Luke and I currently live in Charlotte, North Carolina. For the past 3 years I have been shooting High School Football for a few schools in my area and selling the pictures to a local sports site and the parents themselves. This year I was invited to shoot the 1AA, 1A, 4A games at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem. This was my first time shooting on a college field and don't even get me started about the lighting. Definitely the most amazing experience in photography so far.
I made a few connections and handed out a few cards with some news corespondents on the field as well as other photographers. I figured this was the best way to get invited to college level events as well as NFL games. I'd love to shoot a Carolina Panthers game.
Am I correct in the belief that pursuing making connections is the best way at getting into these higher level events or is there something else I should try?
Thanks!
-Luke
