p.1 #1 · Cant find opportunities to shoot sports in NYC.


I started to reach out to sports clubs, leagues, and schools via emails but so far, I couldn't find any opportunities to shoot sports photos in NYC. Btw, I'm quite new to sports photography especially in NYC as I shot them outside of USA only.

So far, no responses from clubs, leagues, schools, and more. I could just go the park and shoot but I would worry about not having a permission or media pass prior to the game.

Was it too early to email them? Any suggestions?

Try a search for high school sports and or yearbook companies.

Having a “connection” would help the most. Do you know anyone who is directly involved as a player or coach?

Define "reach out." IMO, if you're emailing people you're pretty much wasting your time. Call or find a way to visit with someone in person. When I was doing fund raising we use to have a saying, you can't get milk from a cow by sending it an email. Meaning: you have to get to the cow face-to-face and actually work with them in person.
