Requirements / Details:
(1) Must have experience shooting sports photography (gymnastics experience a huge plus).
(2) Must have equipment able to handle indoor, low light sports photos. You'll need either a Canon 1D MIII with a 2.8 lens or a 30D/40D with a 1.4/1.8 lens.
(3) Event is three days in San Antonio - Oct 17, 18, and 19 - you'd need to be available for all three days.
(4) No set payment for shooting the event, but they'll have 450-500 kids competing. Because very few parents have the gear to shoot indoor gymnastics, there are many opportunities to sell photos to them.
(5) They're open to the option of having you print on site, or use a website to sell the photos after the event. If you sell online, you'll of course want to work out PA announcements, some sort of flier to hand out to people, etc...
(6) Again, only contact them if you have the experience, time and interest in doing this event. Email Stacey, then follow up by phone in a day or two if you don't hear back.
