Freelance Photographer for Sports Event Photography

Important:
Please only apply if your camera equipment meets the requirements listed below.
Also, we would like to be upfront and let you know that we currently only have a very limited number of event opportunities in your region.
However, it's still a great opportunity to start working with us, get to know our workflow, and potentially receive more assignments in the future.

About us:
Sportograf Digital Solutions is a Germany-based global leader in participant photography at sporting events.
We work with freelance photographers who we book for weekend jobs, where they work as part of the Sportograf team using their own equipment.

To work with Sportograf, you must have:

  • High-quality camera equipment (modern mirrorless camera or high-end DSLR)
  • A wide-angle and a telephoto lens (Lenses must be fast and of professional quality – f/2.8 or faster is strongly preferred).
  • A camera with excellent high-ISO performance, as some events take place in low-light indoor environments
  • A passion for active photography – outdoors in all weather conditions or indoors – and the ability to work for several hours (up to 14 hours/day)
  • Basic English skills, as all communication with Sportograf is conducted in English

Post-production is handled entirely by Sportograf, so your focus will be 100% on-location shooting with little to no work afterward.

To check if your gear is suitable, please refer to the following link:

We are proud to have photographers of all ages and genders on our team.
However, please note that our events are long and physically demanding – they’re not the perfect fit for everyone.

Previous experience in sports photography is definitely a plus.
Still, if you're passionate about photography and looking to turn your hobby or side job into something more meaningful, our events offer a unique and motivating opportunity.
