A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Hi, so I shoot sporting events mainly MLS games. However, I am not being paid for it. It’s more of a get you foot in the door type thing

So if I travel let’s say 6-7 hours and spend the night at an hotel. Can I write those things off?

I do other paid photography events like weddings etc.

I find that what pays off more is shooting closer to home, making solid connections with people who are likely to call you back for such events. Later once you’ve built your network you can focus your attention to shooting MLS, hopefully as a paid work.
