->> I will be in NY in Sep, and I'd love to take photos of American football, who would I contact to get a photo pass for a game on the 13th Sep 2009? (I cant find a media email address on NY Giants web site)
Thanks
Michael

| ->> Credentials should be for working media. If you're not on assignment, I'd respect my fellow photographers and shoot from the stands like everyone else. |

| ->> Unless you are on a specific assignment from a legit publication, you will not be issued a credential for an NFL game. |

->> If you're looking to shoot American Football and will be in the States in September you shouldn't have a problem. There should be plenty of youth and high school games going on in New York on every Friday night, Saturday and Sunday.
As others have stated, unless you have an assignment from a legitimate publication you are most likely out of luck for NFL or D1 college games. |

->> Its worth noting that even high school and youth football games are going to typically require permission from the schools AD or event officials. In other words don't just show up and think you can get down to the field.
High School football games are an uniquely American experience that you should really enjoy. NFL games are certainly cool as well, but your not likely to be allowed to shoot one, and you've probably witnessed them on television.
High school games often have the entire community come out for the games. Between the bands, cheerleaders, and student section fans, not to mention the action of the field itself you'll have no shortage of things to shoot. Friday night under the lights in any small town across the country in the Fall is defiantly going to be all about football. |

This is true unless you happen to have a couple of $100K laying around you like to donate to the team or institution the weekend you'll be town ;-) |

| ->> Clark c'mon haven't you been reading? For $8k he can land an internship at some pub or 'zine that I'm sure have season credentials for their staff. Heck for that matter why not look at the NFL games being played in the UK. I'm pretty sure that just about any European publication willing to give the NFL 4 column inches would have no problem getting a credential. |

->> Hope you have obtained your press pass, if not you could always go to one of the publications you have worked for in Ireland and have them go trough the proper channels.
A great editorial story for them would be how NFL football compares to Rugby or European football.
If you do get your pass make sure you arrive early and seek out a photographer who is willing to help you with some constructive advice.
Enjoy your stay in the New York area.
The best of luck to you.
Safe travels and happy shooting. |
