New Photographer's Badge

**John** · 05-08-2009, 09:33 PM

We want to do more to recognize paintball photographers here on PbNation. You might notice we have started to add a small "Photographer" tag so you can easily spot the people who are out there getting shot up just so you can view paintball players in action from the comfort of your computer.

This badge is aimed at photographers who travel to shoot events.

If you see a photographer who meets this criteria and needs a tag, please feel free to let us know:
https://www.pbnation.com/sendmessage.php?subject=17

If you are applying, please make sure you include: your full name, link to current portfolio, who you work for and a list of events you have photographed as a part of the media this year. Please make sure that event galleries are labeled and easily distinguished. You should also make a single gallery of your best work. Do not send us links to Facebook.

We are creating this new designation so that photographers can be easily identified by PbNation users and staff. However please be aware that one of the primary challenges that we have in running a site as large as PbNation is the ever present issue of corporate spam. This new designation is not permission to create threads or posts that we consider corporate spam. Please be mindful of this when you create content or new user profiles that you wish to include in this program.

Is it ONLY for paintball photographers? 40% of my income comes from professional photographs

Yes. The idea here was to call attention to paintball photographers because of the work they do to promote our sport. They're the guys that make us players look good. And after expenses, they often do it for very little compensation if they break even at all. This is a way of saying thanks and helping them continue to help our sport grow.

Keep up the good work PbNation and PbNation staff!

I still have yet to break even.

But it's worth it cause taking pb pics is different than anything else.
