A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

how much do you pay for second shooters / how much are you paid as a second shooter?

i’m a beginner horse show photographer, and have been in contact with a photographer who’s interested in bringing me on as a second shooter. i’m honestly just happy to get the experience, but she mentioned discussing pay. i’m interested to see what that typically looks like before i talk to her.

Uncoincidentally, I have no shortage of skilled people willing to shoot exactly how I want and keep up the certifications I need from them to access the events we cover 😀

I see certs brought up occasionally, I shoot some NCAA & USA Track & Field National Championships and have never had a cert or been asked for any. Can you elaborate? If you can’t say then that’s ok. Thanks.

Sure! Anyone photographer who accesses the playing area of the sports I cover is required to be background checked every two years a have current Safe Sport training and Photographer membership. The ID has a QR code event directors scan, and you need to sign your name and member number to the sanction sheet.

Ok that makes sense. I have seen people talk about similar requirements for high school sports to get entry into the school. Thanks.
