Could you give us any advice on how to go about getting 'credentialed'? I've tried to find out before now but not very successfully. Seems to be one of those things people like to keep secret.

Press passes are mainly a myth. Some police departments will issue press passes to photo journalists who regularily cover crime scenes and other breaking news. As for sports, concerts and other events, the organizers issue the credentials on a one time basis. These go to the working press-meaning those who are employed (staff) by newspapers, magazines or important online news sources. Sometimes a freelancer who is closely associated with the event will get a press designation. Picture agencies that have long reputations for being press agents are the only stock photo companies that can obtain credentials for their photographers and only the biggest consistently succeed. Sometimes the best avenue is to know someone from the organization. |

So it really is a bit of a mystic art then!
No chance that DT's new Editorial section increases the chances of a 'Dreamstime Press' badge, is there?

3. Shoot still life of the equipment.
I wonder when a photo of equipment or by all means any other photos are too simplistic

Although this image contains references to more than one sport and isn't all that simplistic, you can see that it has 45 downloads. There would be more but the photographer also uploaded a very similar image that has 3 more  |

Click on the 'blogs!" tab in the green nav bar at top of the page. On the right of the next page you will see "Create Your Own Blog in Seconds" Click on that link and follow the directions. That should do it.

No, not yet Alice.
Ellen, what do you think? Any value in Dreamstime applying for passes for various events?

Stuart: It took the biggest stock agency in the world a couple of years to get recognized by the media in order to get its photographers credentials at events or to get embedded.
The organizers of events want to ensure that the people that they allow into the press areas at their events are professional photojournalists and that the photographer is working for a recognized publisher of news not a stock agency unless that stock agency is well known as a news/press agency.

Getting access to photograph at events greatly depends upon the type of event. Yes getting on as a recognized freelancer for a local paper is a good but perhaps difficult way to start. It helps if you specialize in a certain sport, type of concert etc. The best bet is to somehow get to know people involved in organizing the event. Again not much help as an answer but you can give it a try but do so months in advance. Presumably the type of event that you wish to photograph is an activity that you have an interest in. For example, a friend photographs equestrian events. She spent a lot of time taking photos of riders/horses practicing. Got to know some of the riders that way. Finally with a good book of images, she went to event PR people and now has full access to those events in her area. |

Thanks Ellen!
I will work on that!
I do want to become a better photographer.. not perfect or awesome or even well-known.. I just want to become better for me, and when I am comfortable , then what I see through the lens is what people see in me..
