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.

Hey,

Ive been doing sports photography for my uni for a couple of years and was wondering whats the best way to start getting press passes for sports events.

Every form I see online for applying for press passes asks for a media outlet, but I'm not employed with any. What's the best thing I can do to try and get these press passes

Thanks for all the help and replies

I dont do sports, I do music, but with music the easiest way to get credentials is to find a publication to shoot for.

You dont need to be employed, it doesnt always need to be a huge publication, just get in touch with the type of publications that would likely use the photos and ask if they can hook you up if you shoot for them.
