Football Photographer (Forest Grove, OR)

About Prep Redzone

Prep Redzone (www.prepredzone.com) is the leading platform for high school football visibility. Our company has over 400 writers in 40  states and produces 2,000 articles a month on high school and grassroots football.

In order to more effectively cover as many players as possible, we’re always looking to build our team with hardworking, football junkies who are passionate about growing the game and providing coverage to players who may not get it otherwise.

Here's where YOU come in. 

Details

You will attend the Prep Redzone Oregon Stock Up Showcase in Forest Grove, OR on January 28th. You will be expected to be on-site from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. The event will take place at the Pacific University Forest Grove Campus.

The main objective for this one-day event are headshots of each athlete in attendance, delivered the day of the event. During check-in, we will have each player come to you for a standard headshot. This way, each player will at least have one photo taken of them. Scroll to the bottom for instructions regarding the headshots.

In regard to action photos during the gameplay, we don't need to capture the perfect play nor do we need many photos, but we are looking for clear photos of the front of players (Number and face visible). Anywhere from 15-20 total action shots during the event is more than sufficient. Maximize the downtime! Play stoppages and in-between the action photos are the #1 goal and lead to the best photos for our use. Light edits are recommended but photos don’t need to be perfect. 

You will be asked to share all photos with our media team as soon as possible — and no later than the following day — via Google Drive or DropBox so that we can utilize them in a timely fashion.

Headshot Instructions

1. The backdrop will be set up by the director when you arrive.
2. Taking the photo(s) (TAKE 2 PHOTOS of each participant)
   1. Photo 1: Make sure their number is visible.
      1. The purpose of this photo is to be able to identify who is who afterward for labeling purposes. On the headshot, you will be too close to the player to see their number, so this one is simply to identify the player.
   2. Photo 2 (Headshot):
      1. Capture from just below the logo on their jersey to several inches above the player
         1. Give their head some space
            1. The image can always be cropped tighter later if necessary. Don’t worry about including the lower torso and legs.
      2. Make sure the player is standing directly in front of the backdrop
      3. Make sure you are in a direct line with the player and backdrop so the backdrop does not appear to be at an angle
      4. Make sure you cannot see the stand for the backdrop in the photo
