Freelance Sports/ Live Action Travel Photographer

$25 per hour

DanceBUG Inc.


Freelance Sports/ Live Action Travel Photographer

Freelance Photographer

Get paid to travel and photograph some of North America's largest dance competitions.

DanceBUG is hiring experienced photographers for our FebruaryJune competition season . If you have experience shooting sports, concerts, dance or other fast-moving live events, we'll train you on our workflow and the world of dance photography.

Why You'll Love It
  • Starting at $25/hour

  • Guaranteed minimum daily and event pay

  • Paid travel days

  • Flights, hotels and rental cars paid by DanceBUG

  • Private hotel room

  • Meals or per diem provided

We'll Train You

If you know how to photograph action, we'll teach you dance.

Photography Experience

Sports Dance Concerts Theatre Gymnastics Figure Skating Cheerleading Live Events

You should be comfortable shooting in manual mode with continuous autofocus (Servo/AF-C) under changing lighting conditions.

  • 70200mm zoom

For nearly 25 years, DanceBUG has been a leader in dance media and event technology. Join our team for a season of travel, live events and photography across the country.

Apply today we'd love to hear from you.
