Dear Anon, why the fuck are you not doing paintball photography?
Paintball photography is probably the most fun way to make money and get a huge audience for your photography, and you don't even have to be good!
So listen here, I'm going to tell you the reasons why you should go out and give this shit a try.
>it's fun
Between the things you do in the field and the people you meet, you'll have a blast and laugh a lot along the way!
>it's free
Something not everybody knows. Paintball costs money for rentals/paint but if you're there to take pictures they'll hand you a mask free of charge and not even ask questions.
>it's great exercise
If you're a skinnyfat like me, the day after a paintball shoot you're going to feel like you just ran a 5k with anvil shoes and you're going to love it.
>meet great people
If you're not afraid to talk to strangers, you'll find that most serious paintballers are a friendly group of ex-military guys who just want to drink beer, shoot paint, and have a good time. They're all hilarious too and always want to meet/talk to people interested in their hobby.
>everybody loves you
If you're there to take pictures your job is to make the players look badass and they know it. With that in mind, everyone is going to accept you pretty much instantly and show their appreciation for your hard work.
>easy connections
Because of all of the above, if you flash around a business card, you WILL be remembered. Most paintball fields have their own photographers or a company they outsource for games but few teams have their own photographers which is something that is highly valued. Imagine if somebody offered to take pictures of you and make you look like a total hunky alpha stud, sounds good right? That's what they're thinking when you offer your services.
continued in next post, gimme a minute to write it out.
