How to Cover High Sec
CHIEF CHARLES A. MOOSE’S NEWS
BRIEFINGS CAPTIVATED THE WORLD
OCTOBER SNIPERS’ SPREE
WASHINGTON, DC. ©2003 DION
P. SPARGER IFPO.
DURING THE
NEAR
S
howing up at a high profile news event with proper credentials will
get you in. Right? Sometimes, but not always unless you are prepared. The Sniper Press Conferences in Rockville, Maryland during the month of October 2002 were under high security for obvious reasons -- everyone was a potential victim. As is widely known, snipers were
shooting innocent victims at random in Maryland, Virginia and the D. C.
Metropolitan area. Fortunately, I was able to cover some of the press conferences because I did have proper credentials and I had an ongoing working relationship with law enforcement in the area.
Being able to respond instantly to breaking news events is usually not an
option for me. I work a full time job so to cover breaking news is very difficult -- unless it happens on a day that I am not working. I do sometimes
carry my camera bag to work just in case I can get to a news event afterward. But it’s the ongoing news events that capture most of my attention
because I can work them into my schedule. And in the D. C. area where I
live there have been an abundance of them in the last year or so.
What usually transpires is that once the news event occurs, and if it goes
on more than a day or so, I contact the police department in that jurisdiction and ask for their media relations division. Once I have reached someone I immediately give them my full name, my location, the name of the
media organization that I represent (American Image Press), and a telephone number where I can be reached.
By experience I have learned that police like details up front about anyone they are speaking with on the telephone. I try to be as forthcoming as
possible; in return they have always been very helpful. For example, during
the Chandra Levy murder investigation, they would fax me the latest police
department press releases regarding the case upon my request. On one
occasion the chief media relations officer called me back with details
about a press conference that was to take place later that day. I was

have just stopped performing orthopaedic surgery in
June 2002 and, photography which has been my passion
for the past thirty-three years is
turning into my only source of
income. At present, in addition
to donating my photographic
services to several charitable
organizations, I have begun
earning income from selling
prints and publishing.
I just completed my website
(www.photosurgeon.net) and
will be adding between five and
ten photos a month. I expect to
sell photographic prints from
my website.
I recently had twenty-six photos published in Discovering
Literature, 3rd Edition by Prentice-Hall, 2002. These photos
included images of Brian Dennehy, Michael Jordan, Mikhail
Gorbachev, Marcel Marceau,
folk singer Jim Post, The Statue
of Liberty, and the Viet Nam
Memorial. I am also in the
process of working on a book
on the human body consisting
of the juxtaposition of photographs and contemporary
poems about issues of the body.
At a recent charitable fund
raiser, I met and photographed
Jane Fonda and was surprised at
how cooperative she was in
posing for me.
IFPO and Today's Photographer Magazine have given me
the ability to obtain access to famous
celebrities, entertainers and major sports
events over the last few years. Ω

The new Gold Press Pass program embodies all the successful aspects of the original Press
Program and incorporates new vital information and features needed based on the real experiences of our press photographers and the assignment editor of Today’s Photographer International magazine. Collectively, the Gold Press bundle represents a total state-of-the-art “systems”
approach designed to get you and your camera to the action.
1. The GOLD SEAL which appears throughout the credentails, is emblazoned with the American Image PRESS logo to distinguish the new credentials with all of it’s improvements, from the
original landmark Press Program. It is a result of carefully reviewing every “gain access” situation
experienced over the past 15 years. We expect this new program will achieve markedly increased
results accross the board, for all kinds of events, all over the world.
2. ISSUING INFORMATION has been added to the credentials which is extremely valuable
DENT PHO
ON
for gaining access in those particularly tough situations when credentials are being scrutinized for
every piece of validating information. Nationality, sex, date and place of birth add verifiable information often required by uniformed officials in law enforcement, fire and emergency, the military, customs and immigration.
3. CLASSIFICATION is now based on a full 4-tier range of publishing credits starting at A for yet-to-be published photographers
and reaching to AAAA for those who are published frequently.
4. COMPLETE BUNDLE of all credentials and Internet Verification is automatically shipped to those who enroll in the Gold Press
Program. Members no longer have to decide whether the Badge style or Passport style credential works better for the events they
cover or whether covering weekend or after-hours events warrants the Internet Verification option or not. You get it all.
5. INTERNET VERIFICATION All Gold Press Pass holders will be assigned a verification code printed on the face of all the credentials. This code can be used to verify your assignment status with Today’s Photographer magazine by press officials 24 hours a
day EVERY day from anywhere in the world. The Internet Verification site is at www.aipress.com/verify.
6. VERIFICATION UPDATES Now you can go online using your Verification Code and update your own Assignment Verification record. You can change your mailing address, add an email address or change other contact information in seconds.
7. PUBLISHING CREDITS Now you can actually display the names of the publications that have published your photos right on
your Internet Verification site so press officials can see your breadth of experience. And... you can use your Verification Code online
and update your list of publishing credits as often as you like, without having to call the American Image office.
8. RECENT ASSIGNMENTS Now you can display your recent assignments on your Verification site so press officials can see
what kind of events you’ve been covering. And... you can use your Verification Code online to update your display of recent assignments as often as you like.
9. EXPIRATION DATE At last, we have added an expiration date to our Press Credentials. As great as the “lifetime” press credentials may seem, there are big drawbacks. “No expiration date” is the single largest reason for problems being accepted in some
venues, not to mention that photos become outdated. Gold Press Pass holders will be able to renew their credentials every 3 years to
keep them current, and they will get a whole new set with each renewal.
10.NEW LOW PRICE of only $99 is a full $129 SAVING off the price of the previous program for all the credentials and options.
But remember, the programs are not equivalent.
11.NEW FEATURES Even at the same price, the Gold Press Pass program has features enumerated here that aren’t even available in the previous program. The addition of door-opening “Publishing Credits” and “Recent Assignments” alone may achieve more in
gaining new access as our original Press Program concept born in 1985.
The American Image Press Photographer’s Code of Ethics
A press photographer’s reputation is often based on his own code • Stay within the boundaries of the photographers’ area. Never interfere
of ethics. Although getting the story is the ultimate goal, ethical standards can “make or break” a career. As a press photographer, it is
your duty to document newsworthy happenings — never altering circumstances or interfering with action to enhance your photographs.
Your photos should tell a story just as it happened. Meeting the high
standards of good press photography requires patience, determination and a strong set of ethics which can be the difference between
success and failure.
First, foremost and always remember that Press access is a privilege not to be abused. Use the following Code of Ethics to guide
you:
•
•
•
•
• Arrive early — at least 45 minutes to an hour before the event is •
scheduled to begin — in order to check in, find the press area, check
•
out the stage or facility lay-out and choose a vantage point.
• Never show up for an event unprepared. Not only should you have all
the proper equipment, you should have a basic knowledge and under•
standing of the event. Do your homework!
• Try to work with promoters and authorized officials rather than against
•
•
them.
Conduct yourself in a professional manner at all times. Photographers
who complain or cause problems aren’t likely to be admitted again.
Don’t just start shooting. Take time to think about what you’re covering.
10 Today’s Photographer International
with the action, criticize a player or performer or interrupt an authorized
official.
Have patience. Resist the urge to inconvenience other photographers
by changing spots. Your opportunity will come.
Although it can be necessary to fight for a good position, always be
courteous. You’ll find other photographers are usually willing to share
their space -- if you offer them the same courtesy. Try your best to get
along with other members of the press.
Always live up to your obligations to promoters and publications.
If you agree not to sell the photos commercially, DO NOT break this
agreement.
Always clean up after yourself -- film wrappers, etc.
Never photograph anyone in a compromising situation (backstage,
locker rooms) unless it’s a public figure in a public place which qualifies
for news. Don’t abuse the privileges you have been granted.
Always remember you are a photographer on the job -- not a spectator.
Finally, the nature of breaking news makes preparation impossible. However, when you arrive on the scene, you are a press photographer -- expected to live up to the same ethical standards you
have learned to display at scheduled media events. With practice
and common sense, high ethical standards should some as naturally as pressing the shutter. Ω

ON ASSIGNMENT: MOTORSPORTS
The Firestone Indy 225 AT NAZARETH SPEEDWAY
THANKS TO IFPO FOR BEING RIGHT THERE, RIGHT NOW ...
Daniel Korup IFPO, Middletown, Delaware
My first imprint of photography was
when I was a young and my father
gave me an AGFA fixed lens 35 camera. After a lot of tinkering, I finally
was able to operate it and knock a few
pictures out. Somewhere along the
way, that camera was lost and my
interest in photography waned.
The ‘photo bug’ bit again when I
invested in a camera to capture the
precious moments surrounding my
first child. This camera triggered
another silent passion -- my desire to
be a motorsports photographer.
I love cars and the controlled chaos
in racing. In those days as a burgeoning photographer I would try to get
into the local drag tracks with only
moderate success. When I did get in,
my photographs impressed almost
everyone who saw them.
As my confidence grew I decided to
move on to the bigger venues for
motorsports events. I purchased a
Nikon 6006. That worked for awhile
until I realized its limitations so I
quickly moved to a Nikon F4. Further
encouraged by my wife to really pursue motorsports photography, I later
purchased a Nikon F5.
About that time I was in a bookstore
to buy anything that might help me
further understand motorsports photography. I discovered Today’s Photographer Magazine, purchased it,
read it and with some reluctance
joined
t h e
Press
Pro-
gram. I already had enough experience
to know that a motorsport photographer needed press credentials.
I was more than delighted when I
was approved for my first press
assignment, The Firestone Indy 225
at the Nazareth Speedway in Nazareth,
Pennsylvania. This was the Inaugural
race for the Indy Racing League (IRL)
at Nazareth since CART pulled out for
the 2002 season. It was indeed an
action packed weekend with a lot of
drama and personal accomplishments.
I did the usual preparation for a race:
getting the most recent frequencies for
the drivers; preparing my equipment
to keep it at peak performance; selecting film speed etc. And I kept a close
watch on the weather.
I made my way to Nazareth early
enough to attend the mandatory photographers meeting on the day of practice and qualifying. The staff was very
courteous and assured us that if we
needed anything they would accommodate us. After learning the rules of
track photography, we were issued
photographers’ vest and our credentials. I immediately went to work
scouting for race day vantage points.
I found that most of the working
press were courteous and more than
happy to offer tips and suggestions. A
photographer who shoots for the
Craftsman Truck Series was gracious
enough to offer tips from his experience at this particular track. I
was elated when he
approached me the next and
asked how I was doing.
On race day the competition was
fierce. But, patience and luck paid off
for me. When another photographer
vacated a space in a photo tower I
moved into it. Within minutes a fiery
accident unfolded right in front of me.
I was ready and lucky enough to fire
off several sequential shots.
The race was quite diverse. Indy
Racing League (IRL) has one of the
few African American drivers, George
Mack - 310 Racing. Sarah Fisher, the
only female in open wheel motor
sports was awarded a spot in the IRL
for Robbie Buhl (Team Purex), who
was injured in a prior race.
Sarah started 19th in the grid. Her
hard work and patience prevailed
when she ended up in fourth place.
Her adopted team was so ecstatic that
almost all of her pit crew were in tears
after the race. Media instantly
swarmed her and I was right in the
thick of it when she said, “There is no
other place I’d rather be than right
here, right now.” The crowd roared in
approval of her accomplishment.
Ditto. There is no other place I’d
rather be than right here, right now on
the threshold of motorsports photography. I’d like to thank IFPO many
times over for giving me the opportunity to cover my first major assignment -- and for being right there, right
now around the clock for me. Ω

CART in Toronto: The Toronto Molson Indy
By Tony Merrill IFPO, Findlay, Ohio
Championship Auto Racing
Teams, (CART) made its annual
stop in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
in July 2002. This is round eight
of twenty in the CART/Fed-Ex
open wheel series and has been
holding a race here since 1986,
known as the Toronto Molson
Indy. The track is a temporary
street circuit 1.755 miles long
laid out on the shore of Lake
Ontario at Toronto’s Exhibition
Place. With a weekend total of
160,000 fans, this is one of CART’s
most popular venues.
This is my third CART event that I
have gained access through the IFPO
press program, but my first temporary
street course as well as my first access
to an event outside the US. My other
two CART events were a permanent

car Course in Lexington, Ohio.
Covering a race on a street course is
a lot different than a permanent road
course. The debris fence and wall are
right up against the track, with cars
passing only inches from you at certain locations, unlike a road course
which has dirt and gravel traps giving
you some distance. Covering a street
race doesn’t require a lot of the bigger
telephotos commonly used at
road courses. My equipment consisted
of 2 Olympus bodies, an OM1 and
OM2, a Tokina 35-70 f3.5 zoom lens,
a Zuiko 65-200 f4 zoom lens, a Zuiko
300 f4.5 telephoto lens as well as a
pair of Sunpak flashes, a 383 super

Inaugural Indy Racing Series at Kansas Speedway
By Chris A. Cross IFPO, Olathe, Kansas
I’ve been doing photography for about six years trying to take all kinds of pictures. It started out as a hobby. After I joined American Image Press I started doing much more serious
photography. I could get into high profile events that were far more challenging than anything I had tried in the past.
My most recent assignments were at the Kansas International Speedway for the NASCAR
Craftsman Truck Series, the Kansas 100 and the Indy Racing Ameristar Casino Indy 200.
This was a great experience and a real help as well to me as a photographer. Anytime you
get a chance to work with other photographers, it influences your style and forces you to
‘measure up’ and grow as a photographer. Ω

SELL PHOTOS YOU ALREADY HAVE!
S TA R T S E L L I N G YO U R P H O T O S
Successful stock libraries contain HIGH QUALITY images of everyday life situations. IFPO members shoot such images everyday as a matter of
course. However, unless a photographer has hundreds or thousands of images, he may be shunned by the large stock houses. This could happen for two
reasons, he simply may not be recognized as a successful stock photographer or his stock of a few dozen images is too small for an agency to consider.
The IFPO Stock Listing service removes these barriers totally and opens doors to the international sales market.
IFPO’s Stock Listing Service
The following elements clearly distinguish the
differences in the IFPO Stock Listing Service and
a stock agency:
1. The service provided to IFPO members is a
STOCK PHOTO LISTING SERVICE and
NOT an agency.
2. Each photographer manages his own sales.
3. No commissions will be charged ever.
4. Image buyers will browse the IFPO image
bank on the internet, select the photos, get the
price, index number and contact information to
order directly from the photographer who
owns the images.
5. Members may set their own pricing for each
photo sold.
6. Complete copyright standards will be available at the site for image buyers and IFPO
member photographers (the sellers).
7. Image searches by buyers may be made by
subject.
8. The most important part of any Stock Photo
Service is its indexing system that allows an
image buyer to identify a photo for purchase. • There are no commissions ever -- unlike

agencies who always take at least 50 pertheir 5 digit member number plus a 5 character

A BEGINNER'S GUIDE
TO DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY
BY ADRIAN DAVIES
For over
150 years, the
photographic
process
remained
unchangedbut now, the
digital revolution has
come.
This book
is about the
cycle of shoot, enhance, and
share. Shooting involves how the image is captured, from camera, lenses, and equipment to
scanning and composition. Enhance by altering
its brightness and contrast, enriching the color,
and improving its clarity and depth. Retouch,
tone, and colorize monochrome images, and use
layered montage techniques to add extra interest.
Try special effects that make photos look like
watercolors or turn them into panoramas. Once
you've got that perfect picture, share it with others: print it, add text, put it on the net. AVA Publishing 128 pages all in color. $24.95. For more

Think Outside the Box to
ROLL in MORE CASH
from Weddings
BY DENNIS HODGES IFPO, KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI
P
Gowns from the Renaissance Period are chosen most often by brides for
theme or non-traditional weddings. ©2003 Dennis Hodges.
20
hotographers take note -- times and traditions
are changing. These are the times that the ups
and downs of the stock market make one dizzy.
As citizens are pounded with negative information it
affects how they spend their money -- and that ripples
down to impact our income. Traditions change with the
times, so we too must change if we expect to maintain
or increase our profits.
Diversify, network and cut costs are terms we often
hear. The catch phrase I like best is, ‘think outside the
box.’ For me that means to look beyond shooting
model portfolios for new dependable sources of
income. Any category of photography that includes
people is natural for me so I have many avenues to
explore.
One important thing to note here. Like it or not there
is more sure money in wedding photography for freelance photographers than almost any other category.
Although we have all heard the horror stories surrounding wedding photography, the big bucks are there -especially if we are prepared and understand today’s
weddings.
Due to the slow economy fewer couples are having
huge, traditional weddings due to the skyrocketing
costs. Others simply want a unique ceremony instead
of an expensive one. The one desire of both the rich
and poor is that they want a wedding that is creative,
different and memorable. Standard wedding poses do
not necessarily capture the originality and the spirit of
the non-traditional or theme ceremony. For example,
you could be photographing wedding couples in a hot
air balloon, at an amusement park, a cattle ranch, a
cave or a castle.
Theme weddings are becoming very popular. In Las
www.ifpo.net

This page, right: Southern Bell Weddings are popular in some regions
of the country.
Below: Some brides prefer opulent costumes instead of gowns for
their wedding day.
Model: Lorie Reskin
Photos © 2003 by Dennis Hodges .
Vegas weddings range from an inexpensive, drive through chapel to
extremely expensive and opulent
theme affairs. At Caesar’s Palace the
bride and groom can dress up in
Roman attire and have an entourage of
Roman Guards, Gladiators and
Women Servants in attendance.
Around the country other brides are
choosing Renaissance, Southern Bell,
Old West or Cleopatra themes
for the full wedding party as
opposed to the traditional attire.
If a wedding photographer is to
keep up and increase sales, he
must be prepared to capture the
essence of traditional or unusual
ceremonies. A first class portfolio with samples of a full range
of wedding photography can
influence the decisions of almost
any bridal couple.
If you are new to wedding photography, you may use models
to create a portfolio. Spend as
much time as needed (and you
may have to invest a few dollars) to get photos that are really
spectacular in traditional and
non-traditional wedding settings.
How do you shoot a wedding
that is staged? Try to kill two
birds with one stone (this is
thinking outside the box). For
example you may know a model
who needs to expand her portfolio. If
so, she might be the perfect model to
pose as a bride for your portfolio
shots. Know aspiring models who
need a basic portfolio? Schedule several of them to pose as bridesmaids.
All you need is the proper wedding
party attire. Even that is really easier
than you might think.
If you live near a city with a costume
shop or a community theater group,
contact them. Introduce yourself as a
wedding, (portrait or model portfolio)
photographer and tell them you occasionally need costumes for your
clients. Ask if they are willing to give
your clients a break on rental fees or
deposits in return for free photos of
their costumes to display in their shop.
If they are interested, give them an
agreed upon number of framed 8 x 10
photos of your clients wearing their
costumes. (Make sure you are allowed
to display your business card with the
photo.) It’s a win, win situation. Your
clients get a break on the costumes;
you get FREE advertising for your full
range of photography; the costume
shop gets quality photos for advertising or display purposes.
Costumes and More, the largest costume shop in North Kansas City, Missouri is the shop I depend on for the
needs of all my clients. This shop carries over 2,000 different costumes
plus make-up, props, wigs and accessories of every description. Most of
my clients find what they need there.
At this point you should have a good
portfolio to show to family, friends
and co-workers for the purpose of
booking weddings. Hopefully, you
have sold some of the portfolio prints
to the models. You should be getting
FREE advertising in the costume

Q&A
I already have Press Credentials.
Why do I have to buy the Chase Kit?
You DO NOT. The Chase Kit was simply
designed to make the breaking NEWS
REPORTER’S job easy. It gives you everything you need on the spot to do the job, do
it right and get it to your nearest editor. The
Chase Kit actually serves as your assistant to
make sure you collect all the facts and then
get them to the right place.
What is a Chase photographer; what
do they chase?
We consider any photographer who is in
search of breaking news events to be a
“Chase Hound”. He chases sports, entertainment, fires, accidents, storms, natural disasters, plane crashes, train wrecks, press conferences and even goodwill tours.
Police will recognize the Press Credentials
which must be used with the NEWS
REPORTER accreditation part of the Chase
Kit.
Will Today’s Photographer publish
these news stories?
Today’s Photographer WILL publish stories
about YOU covering these stories. The
breaking news stories themselves need to go
to daily newspapers and wire services.
How do I find out if a newspaper or
TV station can use my news photos?
Let’s use an auto accident as an example.
You have photographed the wreck and are
leaving the scene without having seen any
other photographers or news teams. Pick up
the nearest phone (using the numbers listed
in your Reporter’s Field Directory) to notify
news agencies that photos of the accident are
available even though the film has not been
processed. Breaking news is HOT and
should be reported immediately.

New Photo Markets
RIGHT IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD
MALIBU
THIS PHOTO ILLUSTRATES THE POSITION THAT PETS
HOLD IN A HOUSEHOLD ... THEY OFTEN HAVE THE
SAME PRIVILEGES AS FAMILY MEMBERS.
©2002 K. Bill Holley IFPO.
(August Photo Contest Entry)
S
pending expected to be $29.5
billion in 2002 and reach $31
billion in 2003! Sounds like the
US military budget, right? Guess
again. Those numbers come straight
from the American Pet Products Manufacturing Association (APPMA), a
trade association. They also report that
food and supplies rank second and
third respectively, behind services
related to veterinary care as the greatest expenses for pet owners.
This is an astounding amount of
money spent each year by pet owners
which reveals the importance of pets
in family life. APPMA also reports
that today 62 percent of U. S. households own pets compared with 56 percent in 1988, the first year that the
association conducted a national pet
owner survey.
So what does this mean for photographers? A ready made market for pet
photography right in your own neighborhood! That could range from pet
portraits to pets at play for custom
designed greeting cards etc.
How does one get started? It’s probably the easiest market ever to conquer.
Pets are everywhere -- right on the
street where you live. Your neighbor’s
white cat may be doing a ballet on
your deck when you wake up in the
morning. The two long-legged greyhounds drag their 105 pound owner
down your street for their daily walk.
www.ifpo.net
A tiny Shih
Tzu stares at
you from its
PetPocket
(worn by the
owner) at the local park.
Owners are flattered when you ask
for permission to photograph their pet.
In return, present them with one of
your best shots and let them know you
specialize in pet photography.
Take any opportunity available to
shoot the pet with its owner or their
children -- these make great holiday
photos or custom greeting cards for
families and friends.
Once you have a few really good pet
photos, you can easily develop one,
two or three ways to advertise your
services as a Pet Photographer. The
most effective first step could be
business cards with a close-up pet portrait staring straight at the viewer. The
usual contact information would also
appear on the card. Distribute the
cards to everyone in your family,
neighborhood and where you work.
Next could be a simple brochure that
you can design on your home computer with three really good pet images
plus a simple price list and contact
information. Also, if you can provide
specialized greeting cards etc, that
custom service should be explained,
but not priced. Note that free quotes
are available. This same information
could appear on a post card and be
mailed to pet owners.
Finally, you might design a home
page on the internet with several pet
photos, price lists, contact information
etc. However, do not depend for the
internet to bring in your neighborhood
business. But if you advertise your
internet address on business cards and
brochures, the internet site can certainly promote your business with
your neighbors.
Props can be used to enhance pet
photos. For instance a large male dog
might look great in a bow tie for a
photo to be used as an invitation to a
party. A cat with a champagne glass
filled with milk could could be an
invitation to drop in for drinks. And so
it goes. Once you use a few props, an
avalanche of ideas will begin to form.
In the beginning, pricing should be
very reasonable. Remember, you are
expanding or building a new business.
It’s important to get your name out,
have a great portfolio of pet photos
and cover your costs up front if possible. Profits will come in due time so
do not be discouraged if you can
break even for a few months.
On another note take into consideration that many people who appear to
own pets are actually in business.
They may be breeders, trainers or simply provide foster homes for pets.
Their need for photos may far exceed
the average pet owners. That group
could be a goal for further expansion
in your pet photography business.
Few industries grow at more than $1
billion per year and those that do usually cannot be accessed by the freelance photographer. With the enormous growth of the pet industry, there
is certainly a niche for the skillful,
aggressive pet photographer. Ω

shooting anniversaries, weddings, and pets
on location. I advertise by passing out business cards and placing small, low cost ads in
the local weekly paper.
I am amazed at the number of customers I
attract who are willing to pay top dollar for
my work. I think that is because I am flexible
enough to take the assignments that studios
often pass up.
I did a 50th Wedding Anniversary party last
year and, even to my surprise, sold every single picture from that event. My profit was
almost three times what I had expected. The
A POPULAR SHOT THAT
people at the party loved it because I mingled ALWAYS SELLS ... TRY IT!
LEGAL PHOTOGRAPHY PAYS VERY WELL
Since I have been a member if IFPO, I
have enjoyed immensely the articles in the
magazine and benefited greatly. I have
also benefited from the instructional and
professional material (business forms,
business cards etc) that is offered.
The majority of my photo work is in the
field of legal work. I work for law firms
that specialize in accident, injury and medical malpractice cases. I photograph the
injuries of the victims of these calamities.
The law firms use the photos in their pursuant legal capacity. There is a tremendous market in this area of photography -26
with the crowd taking all types of
unstaged shots. That
turned out to be the
key to my success
for that event.
I recently tested a new line of photography
-- pet glamour shots! My wife and I used
our two Shetland Sheepdogs for test purposes and received enough positive feedback to add it as a specialty.
The bottom line is that there is a wide
open market for good on-location photography. Make your IFPO credentials work for
you and use the IFPO programs to guide
you. Then have fun making good money
either part-time or full-time. Ω
if you have the stomach for it.
I acquired this position through a connection of friends. When my first prints were
delivered to the representing attorney, he
was so impressed that he gave my name to
other law firms in the area. As a result I
am now engaged in legal photography
almost full time. And the pay is excellent.
IFPO has been a valuable asset to my
photo earning capacity over the past 13
years. It has provided me with the technical aspects needed to be successful - from
the business end to photographic technique. I look forward to many more years.
Max M. Sundol IFPO, Dunkirk, New York.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
I have been associated with photography
for over 60 years as a one time member of
the New Jersey State Guard, U. S. Navy,
U. S. Maritime Service, U. S. Army
(Retired) and Professional Photographer of
America, Inc. My cameras have recorded
American Presidents, Kings, Queens,
movie stars, concerts, sport events, breaking news, and world wide photography.
The list is much too long.
IFPO is just what all photographers need
regardless of whether they are an amateur
or a professional. Tony Petrello IFPO,

ENTRY CHECKLIST

❏
USE THIS FORM to submit ARTICLES, PHOTOS, and TIPS to be considered for
publication in Today's Photographer. WHEN YOU USE THIS FORM and follow these
guidelines you could be selected to WIN the Editor's GRAND PRIZE of $500.00!
LOOK AT THE MAGAZINE!! When you look at examples of what is
actually published in the magazine, it's like looking at the test
answers before taking the test!!
HOW TO SUCCEED is what we are all about! How to make money,
gain access and get published. How did you get the celebrity to let
you get the picture. How did you get the model to pose for you. What
surprise barriers were you able to overcome? How did you get those
death defying pictures right from your car window?
INSPIRATION is the word our readers use most to describe the magazine and it's content! Have you had some success with your camera
or an idea that would inspire others?
SELDOM SHOOTERS: So you only picked up your camera once or
twice in the past few years, shot a lot of film for an afternoon or a
week, then let it get away from you. What was so important that
caused you to pick your camera up? Family reunion? Your kid's big
soccer game? Beach trip of a lifetime? Favorite group finally came to
town in concert? House down the street caught fire? 2 weeks in Yellowstone? Big celebration at work?
DIFFERENT DRUMMERS: Maybe you have a story with a different
slant — enter it. You may inspire us to expand our editorial range.
Enter the Editor’s Sweepstakes even if you have never made a submission before. The sweepstakes is another way for us to reward our
readers who share a special bond in their passion for succeeding as
photographers ... and making money. Again, our resolution is to support that effort in every issue and to make sure that Today’s Photographer “works” for you.

Making some money with your camera
is actually quite simple. However, when
you decide to make a living from photography, you will need to move up to another
level. You might consider starting a model
consulting business or freelance in advertising. This is not as difficult as it sounds.
If you have a camera, computer, a reasonable amount of determination and some
good old fashion manners, you will soon
get more jobs than you can handle alone.
And as an IFPO member and Certified
Model Consultant, you already have a
great advantage -- an association that
opens doors for you.
In most states you cannot operate a
school or modeling agency unless you are
licensed. However, you can usually freelance in photography and advertising as
you wish. You can always check with your
Chamber of Commerce or State Attorney
General’s Office before you advertise your
services.
To get started there are three good
resources to get you moving. Your telephone directory yellow pages, local radio
and TV station advertising. Your purpose
is to learn what local businesses are advertising, then see if you can provide them
better service at the same or even better
price.
A full advertising package at a reasonable rate appeals to most small business.
To make a realistic proposal you first need

HOW TO COVER HIGH SECURITY NEWS EVENTS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6
The Daily Briefings Were Often Emotional. The F. B. I., Chief Moose, Maryland State Officials and others held daily news briefings in Rockville, Maryland. Photos ©2002 Dion P. Sparger
very surprised and very grateful for
that type of consideration. I later saw
him at one of the press conferences
and took the opportunity to thank him
for his consideration and the information. But more important what I wanted was for him to be able to put my
face with my name and to remember
me for future reference.
While covering a range of events,
my experience with the media relations divisions in the D. C. Metropolitan Police Departments has always
been positive. They have always
shared any information they could.
I try to attend the major news events
when I can for two main reasons: 1) to
get good photojournalistic shots, and
2) to keep my face before the police
and members of the media. Usually, I
try to get to press conferences early,
even though they usually start later
than scheduled. Once I have been
screened by a police officer and given
access to the restricted area, I use this
time to walk around and look over the
area for good vantage points.
A key goal of mine is to talk with
those police officers who are handling
security, especially the ones who are
in charge of screening members of the
press for access. I introduce myself
and tell them the organization I repre40
sent. I may engage them in light conversation but, being careful not to
impede them from doing their job. I
want my face, name and mode of conduct to be ‘burned into their memory’
for the next time I need to attend a
news event in their jurisdiction.
Police officers are highly-trained
professionals. Part of their job is to
remember faces and names and that
works in my favor. For example, I
attended two news events in the same
police jurisdiction four months or so
apart. The first was an Amtrak train
wreck, the second was one of the press
conferences during the sniper investigation. By coincidence, the same
police officer was providing security
at both events and remembered me.
But he still did his job and thoroughly
checked my credentials.
I also try to talk with other photographers and TV camera personnel at
these events to get additional information and to have them remember me as
well. You never know when it may be
helpful to have a member of the media
vouch for you should the occasion
ever arise.
There is a sort of standard format
for news conferences. Usually a police
officer or other official will come out
to the podium and give the press the
two-minute warning. This lets everyone know they are about to start and
the network camera crews can prepare
to go live.
At the Sniper Press Conferences,
because of the tight security, it was
difficult to get a good camera shot.
The network TV cameras are always
given the prime spots so I had to shoot
from the side or from a vantage point
between and behind the TV cameras
using a longer focal length lens.
Kneeling below the TV cameras in the
front row is an option, but the news
reporters are camped out there so they
can ask questions. I try to find some
harmony between getting the best shot
available from the spots I can find
without infringing on the other photographers and cameramen.
At all times I keep a good balance
of being professional and courteous
but also being aggressive in getting
the type of photojournalistic images
that are needed to make a good presentation.
My American Image Gold Press
Credentials are priceless. Without
them I could not have gained access to
these events. I also believe that a
familiar face at the scene is also
invaluable. Both are entwined in my
success and inseparable for me. Ω

What started as a hobby, photographing birthdays and holidays as a child,
slowly grew into photographing events,
demonstrations and every day life. It
was in coming to Israel in 1990 that my
interest in political demonstrations and
public events events really took off.
I now have a collection of forty pictures of political happenings around Tel
Aviv on display at Moshe Taub’s studio. (He’s an IFPO member who has
helped me immensely, and chairs the
Camera Club in Tel Aviv.) The same
collection will later be shown in North
Tel Aviv.

The current political situation in Israel
and the Middle East has made it
increasingly difficult to get my camera
on the scene. Slowly and surely the
Intafada made security a real big issue - until I joined IFPO earlier this year.
Using the IFPO Press Credentials I
have covered prominent members of the
Meretz and Labor Parties as well as
breaking news events.
Having the IFPO press card commands
a level of respect that was missing -although I did not notice it until I had
the card for inspection by security personnel. And other photographers give a
little more space instead of trying to
take over and generally get in the way
of a ‘non-card’ holder trying to cover an
event. Ω

How to Make Your First Assignment -- the Best
By Gary Daniel IFPO, Bartlett, Tennessee
MY INTEREST IN PHOTOGRAPHY STARTED WHEN I
WAS 17. I AM NOW 42. IT HAS TAKEN ME MOST OF
THESE YEARS TO AFFORD SOME DECENT EQUIPMENT
AND EVEN LONGER TO FIND
I
have had the desire to express myself
through photography since I visited
Nashville Tech more than twenty
years ago and saw photographs that the
students had taken for a project.
It was much later when I invested in my
first camera, a Yashica FX3 2000 with a
Carl Zeiss 50mm 1.7 lens. I spent a year
experimenting and learning with it before I
decided to get a more automatic camera.
Wanting something basic, I chose the
Minolta Maxxum 5 with a 50mm 1.7 autofocus lens and a Sigma 100-300 4.5 to 6.7
zoom lens.
After spending another year with this
set-up, I learned about IFPO and joined. I
was excited and ready to cover my first
NBA basketball game only to learn from
the Memphis Grizzlies public relations
office that they do not allow freelance photographers to cover their games.
I was really disappointed until I read
about the Gold Press Program in Today’s
IFPO. Gary Daniel.
Photographer Magazine. I joined the program and sent in my letter of assignment to
cover the Memphis Grizzlies versus the
LA Lakers game at the Pyramid Arena. I
was approved!
I was very excited and began to prepare
for the game. First I bought some 1600
speed Fuji film, then I reviewed the Photographer’s Code of Ethics from the Gold
Press Program. I also kept in mind much of
what I had learned in Today’s Photographer Magazine.
When I arrived at the game I introduced
myself to the Media
Director and learned
that I had access to
the locker rooms
before and after the
game as well as the
coaches’ press conference after the
game.
I met Isaac Hayes
who sang the National Anthem at the
opening of the game and found myself
standing next to Phil Jackson while he was
being interviewed by news groups from
around the country.
After I left the game, the police stopped
traffic for me as I left the the media parking lot. This was a night I will never forget.
I owe it all to the Gold Press Program
and IFPO. I am confident now that I can
cover the kind of events in the future that I
had only dreamed about in the past. Ω

YOU CAN BE AN
IFPO
THE ADVANTAGE
HOW IT WORKS
WHY YOU?
An IFPO Distributorship is an exceptional
opportunity for IFPO members to achieve success
and make money by taking advantage of the millions of dollars and 15 years of research that have
gone into developing the IFPO / Today's Photographer Magazine Concept. The modest distributor's
fee gives you the value of MILLIONS of dollars
that have been invested in 15 years of advertising
IFPO’s dependability, quality and services.
Today's Photographer Magazine and its associated products gets more exposure than any other
photography magazine. It is advertised regularly in
display space advertising in Popular Photography,
Photographic, Outdoor Photographer, American
Photographer and Shutterbug. As a distributor, you
get the direct benefit of this advertising.
Today's Photographer is sold on Newsstands
throughout the United States, Canada, and around
the world.
IFPO is recognized in more than 140 countries
on all continents of the world and has more than
67,000 members. Today's Photographer Magazine
is currently being distributed to more than 80,000
photography enthusiasts 4 times a year.
Typically, distributorships or franchises that
give a distributor this kind of exposure, promotion
and value are priced from $10,000.00 to
$150,000.00.
1. DISTRIBUTOR DISCOUNT: You are entitled
to order products and services from a current issue
of Today's Photographer at a only 50% of the listed standard price. For example: multiply list prices
by 0.5 (a $68 membership would be $34.00). Half
of $39.95 for example, would be $19.98 (rounded
off to the nearest cent).
•You may wish to purchase many IFPO programs
or services for yourself. A distributorship will save
you 50%.
•You can reap the profits from more than 2.5 million dollars already spent on advertising in all the
major photography and video magazines. Let
these IFPO advertising dollars work for you and
your business by building name recognition for the
IFPO products and programs that you sell.
•You can offer IFPO products and programs to
your clients without spending a penny for market
research or product development. IFPO is constantly upgrading its products and services to
maintain its leadership position in the international
marketplace.
•You can guarantee satisfaction for each product
and program you offer. That customer satisfaction
is backed up by IFPO and is a vital part of the
IFPO success story.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
http://www.ifpo.net/dfaq
MAKE MONEY:
•A distributor could sell only 2 videos a week and
net up to $2000.00 a year. He could build his
business up to 200 videos a week and be pulling in
potentially $200,000.00 per year.
•A distributor could set up a network of 100
Model Consultants "talent scouts" in an area. He
would make nearly $15,000 just on the model consultant kits and IFPO memberships, then would
make more on the videos, forms, books and other
items that consultants frequently buy.
•A distributor could sell to schools and educational institutions. IFPO's instructional videos are
very popular with schools of all kinds (Junior
Highs, High Schools, Colleges, Trade Schools,
etc.). Schools typically purchase in larger quantities, often 10 to 20 videos at a time. Currently,
about 100 schools are purchasing from IFPO.
There are tens of thousands more in this country
alone.
•Recreational groups sponsored by government or
other non-profit groups. For example, Military
bases have recreational programs that include selfhelp and how-to programs on video. Currently,
IFPO does a brisk business with military base purchase orders from only a few bases.
•Many other groups sponsor recreational programs
that would be very interested in photography
instructional videos. Groups plan trips. Vacationers use cameras and camcorders.
•Photographer's swap meets or flee markets are
ideal places to set a booth and market IFPO products. In these situations, having merchandise to
sell (like videos) is a plus. But if you don't have
the merchandise, be sure to get the name, address,
and phone number of each person that stops by
your booth. Each one is a prospective customer
for the future. If you run out of copies of Today's
• INT
ER
•You can start a new business and coast in the
wake of the IFPO flagship. Let its research, product development, name recognition and dollars
spent on advertising make money for you. Let
IFPO's rapid success plan turn into financial
growth for you.
3. EXCLUSIONS: You CANNOT apply your distributor's discount to: USA or Foreign shipping •
Workshop programs • Quantity discount packages
such as 3R0X, 3VVX, item numbers containing
“X”, or special offers with expiration dates • Classified and display a dvertising • Items in out-ofdate issues may no longer be valid • Items not sold
by IFPO/American Image are excluded. Items not
sold in Today’s Photographer magazine are
excluded.

YOU CAN:
2. QUANTITIES AND SHIPMENTS: Order in
any quantity. IFPO will ship to you or your customer direct. No minimums or quotas.
•You may be associated with a group such as a
camera club, family members or close associates
who may want to participate in IFPO products and
services at discount prices.
•If you have a photography studio or similar business may wish to arm all of your staff members
with memberships and press program credentials
from IFPO to make them more competitive. An
IFPO Distributorship would enable them to do
this at reduced costs to the studio or company.
•You may want to start down the road of being
your own boss with an IFPO distributorship. You
can start small, order in any quantities, part time or
full time. Most of all, you may have a few hours a
week to invest in your financial future.
Photographer at your booth, you can always mail
them one in the future with a special offer flyer of
some kind.
REPEAT CUSTOMERS
The best opportunity you have to make
money as a distributor is to give your customers a
REASON to do business with you. You can use
your own liberal distributor discount to your
advantage. If you can give your customers a 5 or
10% discount by purchasing through you, then
they have a reason to order with you instead of
ordering directly through mail order with IFPO.
Your own margins may be a little slimmer, but
your volume would be much higher.
Now you could consider distributing Today's
Photographer Magazines liberally with your business card attached and a notice that offers your
own 5% or 10% discount if they order through
you.
In this way, you would get the full advantage
of repeat orders from the same customers.
Here is a sample list of schools and institutions
that have already placed large orders directly with
IFPO:
AFETA, Camp Peary, VA; Miami Killian
Senior High School, Miami, FL; Leon County Schools,
FL; River East School Division, Winnipeg, Manitoba,
Canada; Aims Community College, Greeley, CO; CBN
University Library, Virginia Beach, VA; Southwest State
University Library, Marshall, MN;University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA; NAF Fort Sam Houston, TX;
Stockton Unified School District, Stockton, CA; Phillipsburg Board of Education, NJ; Roberts High School, Florence, CO; Oakton Community College, Des Plaines, IL;
Greenville Technical College, SC; Curtis Jr High School,
Tacoma, WA; Minuteman Regional Vocational Technical
School District, MA; Ferris State College Library, Big
Rapids, MI; Maricopa Community College, Phoenix, AZ;
Southeastern Mass. University, MA; Sparta Senior High
School, Sparta, WI; and many, many more.
The List Price of the IFPO Distributor Program is $1,490. For a limited time, the price is reduced to $387 but will only remain at
hat special price until our current Distributor Enrollment program has met it’s goals.

Today’s SPORTS magazine
Thanks to the UNLIMITED POTENTIAL of the Internet and IFPO’s aggressive leadership in electronic publishing, IFPO
is able to bring new muscle to the large number of IFPO members who are interested in sports photography.
Today’s Sports magazine is an On-Line electronic publication with the capacity to promote and publish ALL of it’s
SPORTS Photographer’s photos. A print magazine could NEVER MAKE SUCH a promise.
1. TESTED The Today’s Sports Credential Program is a result of carefully reviewing every “gain access” situation
experienced over
the past 15 years. We expect this new program will achieve markedly increased results accross the board, for all kinds of events, all
over the world.
2. ISSUING INFORMATION has been added to the credentials which is extremely valuable for gaining access in those particularly tough situations when credentials are being scrutinized for every piece of validating information. Nationality, sex, date and place
of birth add verifiable information often required by uniformed officials in law enforcement, fire and emergency, the military, customs
and immigration.
3. CLASSIFICATION is now based on a full 4-tier range of publishing credits starting at A for yet-to-be published photographers
and reaching to AAAA for those who are published frequently.
4. COMPLETE BUNDLE of all credentials and Internet Verification is automatically shipped to those who enroll in the Today’s
Sports Program. Members no longer have to decide whether the Badge style or Passport style credential works better for the events
they cover or whether covering weekend or after-hours events warrants the Internet Verification option or not. You get it all.
5. INTERNET VERIFICATION All Today’s Sports Credentials holders will be assigned a verification code printed on the face of
all the credentials. This code can be used to verify your assignment status with Today’s Sports magazine by press officials 24 hours a
day EVERY day from anywhere in the world. The Internet Verification site is at www.aipress.com/verify.
6. VERIFICATION UPDATES Now you can go online using your Verification Code and update your own Assignment Verification record. You can change your mailing address, add an email address or change other contact information in seconds.
7. PUBLISHING CREDITS Now you can actually display the names of the publications that have published your photos right on
your Internet Verification site so press officials can see your breadth of experience. And... you can use your Verification Code online
and update your list of publishing credits as often as you like, without having to call the American Image office.
8. RECENT ASSIGNMENTS Now you can display your recent assignments on your Verification site so press officials can see
what kind of events you’ve been covering. And... you can use your Verification Code online to update your display of recent assignments as often as you like.
9. NEW LOW PRICE of only $99 is a full $129 SAVING off the price of the previous program for all the credentials and options. But
remember, the programs are not equivalent.
10.NEW FEATURES Even at the same price, the Today’s Sports program has features enumerated here that aren’t even available
in the previous program. The addition of door-opening “Publishing Credits” and “Recent Assignments” alone may achieve more in
gaining new access as our original Press Program concept born in 1985.
The American Image Press Photographer’s Code of Ethics
A press photographer’s reputation is often based on his own code • Stay within the boundaries of the photographers’ area. Never interfere
of ethics. Although getting the story is the ultimate goal, ethical standards can “make or break” a career. As a press photographer, it is
your duty to document newsworthy happenings — never altering circumstances or interfering with action to enhance your photographs.
Your photos should tell a story just as it happened. Meeting the high
standards of good press photography requires patience, determination and a strong set of ethics which can be the difference between
success and failure.
First, foremost and always remember that Press access is a privilege not to be abused. Use the following Code of Ethics to guide
you:
•
•
•
•
• Arrive early — at least 45 minutes to an hour before the event is •
scheduled to begin — in order to check in, find the press area, check
•
out the stage or facility lay-out and choose a vantage point.
• Never show up for an event unprepared. Not only should you have all
the proper equipment, you should have a basic knowledge and under•
standing of the event. Do your homework!
• Try to work with promoters and authorized officials rather than against
•
•
them.
Conduct yourself in a professional manner at all times. Photographers
who complain or cause problems aren’t likely to be admitted again.
Don’t just start shooting. Take time to think about what you’re covering.
64
with the action, criticize a player or performer or interrupt an authorized
official.
Have patience. Resist the urge to inconvenience other photographers
by changing spots. Your opportunity will come.
Although it can be necessary to fight for a good position, always be
courteous. You’ll find other photographers are usually willing to share
their space -- if you offer them the same courtesy. Try your best to get
along with other members of the press.
Always live up to your obligations to promoters and publications.
If you agree not to sell the photos commercially, DO NOT break this
agreement.
Always clean up after yourself -- film wrappers, etc.
Never photograph anyone in a compromising situation (backstage,
locker rooms) unless it’s a public figure in a public place which qualifies
for news. Don’t abuse the privileges you have been granted.
Always remember you are a photographer on the job -- not a spectator.
Finally, the nature of breaking news makes preparation impossible. However, when you arrive on the scene, you are a press photographer -- expected to live up to the same ethical standards you
have learned to display at scheduled media events. With practice
and common sense, high ethical standards should some as naturally as pressing the shutter. Ω
