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

  • Up to $700 equipment stipend

What You'll Do

We'll Train You

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

Photography Experience

We're looking for photographers experienced with fast-moving subjects such as:

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

  • f/2.8 preferred; f/4 accepted

  • Minimum three batteries and two chargers
