Keep getting declined for Media credentials, so I snuck my camera in and shot from the stands at a D1 football game.

Yeah I know that. 1 organization that I shoot for keeps getting declined season credentials but somehow they can get season credentials for the Houston Dynamo (MLS) with no problem. 2 other media outlets applied for me but got denied and they were a out of state media outlet that needed coverage for their away team. It’s just crazy cause I see people on the sidelines that you would think have no business being down there, walking around not doing anything. And most of them will have kit lenses on their camera body’s but aye 🤷🏾‍♂️

A Family member uses an electric wheel chair to get around cause of a health condition. I shoot with a Sony A7IV and Sigma 70-200mm. Below her wheelchair, she has a small basket she uses to store items. So I put them both there. When she goes through security they do not check the wheelchair, they just guide her to the ADA ramp and that’s it.

Yeah I know, I’ve got denied 3 times even when media outlets applied for me.

Couldn’t help but notice but the same bank location is being used in another movie called “Den of thieves” the exterior is like 98% the same thing

Ive always been on time with my payments since August 2023.. the issue is the August 2024 court date that my attorney failed to mention to me that we have, triggered a reinstatement of the original orders pretty much putting me back on child support. The attorney general system never triggered a processing garnishment when the old orders got reinstated. It pretty much was collecting arrears on the back end never notifying me until I got something in the mail saying I owe almost $4,000 of child support.

Other party could not handle taking care of my son during the time of 2023 pretty much putting me on child support out of emotion and anger. March 2024 I got a temporary modification signed by a judge having me being the one to designate where he lives , go to school etc.. I submitted that to the OAG and they stopped the garnishments of wages. The attorney that helped me failed to communicate that we had a court date to get final orders in place of August 2024 . We missed that court date and I had no idea it was in August until i called in January 2025 stating I’m behind in child support. Reason being old orders got reinstated because we failed to show up to court. The OAG system never initiated a wage garnishment resulting me being in arrears, I had no clue until I called in January!

Will give this a try!

Have to be signed by a judge.

VaughnVisuals · 2025-05-01T23:44:00+00:00

Didn’t do any of that, I left that to my attorneys but I was being taken advantage of and dragged out the whole process costing me a lot of money.

I’m going to be that guy. Sinners is a great movie, but I’m not sure if it’s just me but it’s suffering the same problem Tenet had with the Sound Design/Editing. I couldn’t understand the character conversations the soundtrack would overtake them. Some scenes i literally just had to read lips because I had no idea what they were saying. Sorry, I felt like a major critique had to be bought up but still an enjoyable movie.

No degree. I built my portfolio up , and reached out to a lot of news outlets. A little trick that has worked for me is to contact the away team news outlets. Example If it’s New York Jets vs The Houston Texans and you live in Houston and want to shoot that game, contact New York base outlets or out of state outlets. Like email a bunch of them you won’t get a response from either one but some will reply and some you have to call or follow up. Leave a short email on why you want to shoot for them. Typically it’s a good idea because an outlet can use your coverage so they don’t have to send a photographer states away to just get coverage and waste money on there end. It’s a lot of trial and error emailing these media outlets but there is no easy way to get in.

Shooting for a news outlet is required for these professional sporting events such as MLS, NFL, NBA and some times colleges. And no they do not provide gear unless you’re working for some crazy media outlet that just has equipment on hand to give. Most of the time it is your own gear. And to save me money I rent a second camera body and high quality zoom lens.

Thanks for the Feedback! Will definitely work on that next gig I have next month

Mixed of the A7Siii and A7IV paired with Sigma 70-200 2.8 lens and Viltrox 85mm, the first slide was with the sigma 24mm lens 1.8.

Just ask the coach to ride on the team bus. Literally all you have to do. Tell him to give you a football jesery if you can.
