On the form, it says:

"Supporting documentation/information about the event
Copies of any forms the event organizers require you to fill out"

What would this include? I don't have anything, and the organizers don't have anything for me.

Just complete the application as much as you possibly can. The more information you can provide the easier it will be for the staff to do their job.



I did my first one last night and the experience was so positive!!! The staff at the event was wonderful. I was on a standard 3 song credential but was allowed to stay. The only problem I experienced was with the extremely poor lighting and not being able to use flash so that effected my pictures but that wasn't anything that SS or I could control. I do encourage anyone who wants to try this to do so.

What'd you shoot, a concert?

3 song credential? Meaning you can only stay around through 3 songs?

Yes, a concert. Concert photography has been a hobby of mine since Jan 05 and have traveled all over the USA for concerts.

From what I understand, the standard 3 song credentials is common. You are allowed in to shoot for 3 songs. From reading previous posts it sounds like some venues will allow you to stay (and not shoot after the 3), some will make you leave after 3 songs. The place I was at didn't care that I stayed and let me keep shooting as long as I wanted.

Because of this uncertainty, I wouldn't travel far for a show unless I bought a ticket so I would be able to stay after the 3 songs. I would also buy a tix for a show I really wanted to see. I have tix to 2 upcoming concerts and have put in for a red carpet pass.

Yea any luck w/ NFL? I wanna try out some 49ers games.

I've gotten into MLB games, as a ticket holder, with my 70-200; they didn't care.

I got an email response regarding NFL saying this:

"Not yet, but apply and we will try."

just want to comment on what a superb job aisia and the red carpet team does to get you into events, for fast communication and even fast review times (thanx James and Anthony).

i've even had a couple sales (for editorial) already. i just wondered if the photo reviews are as stringent as for regular stock submissions or are they relaxed a bit because it's news?

Aisia did a great job for me as well. I was on the sidelines for the Temple-Buffalo game on Saturday. Lincoln Financial Field is a beautiful stadium. Thanks!

This question is for anyone who has photographed images for the Red Carpet Program: How do your earnings of celebrity/event photos compare to your sales of general stock images? You can answer me here or email to knostpix@hotmail.com.

i'd say you'll get one or two downloads per photo. but, i imagine it really depends on the event and who/what you photograph. i think someone attended a democratic rally last year and got some good images of then presidential candidate obama. that must be worth a lot of dl.

i have to say, even though these are editorial/news items, people are still downloading them weeks/months after the event.
