The Old Way

Event photography has always been broken.

You show up, you shoot for hours, you deliver hundreds of photos — and you walk away with a flat fee that doesn't reflect the value you created. Meanwhile, thousands of fans are living moments they'll never forget — and nobody is capturing them.

Old model

Fixed rate. Flat ceiling.

  • One client pays you once for your time
  • Your rate is negotiated before you shoot a single frame
  • You invoice and wait — sometimes 30+ days
  • Your income doesn't scale with your output
  • Thousands of fan moments go uncaptured, unsold
Banlek model

Earn on every sale. No ceiling.

  • Fans find and buy their own photos directly
  • You earn a commission on every purchase
  • No invoicing — payments process automatically
  • The more compelling your shots, the more you earn
  • Income compounds long after the final whistle
How It Works

Meet the Risk Reversal Model.

You shoot. Fans buy their own photos. You earn a commission on every sale. Here's how.

01
No upfront cost

You get credentialed.

Apply, get selected, receive your stadium access credential. No fees to join the program. No client to pitch. Banlek handles the partnership — you handle the camera.

02
Your territory: the stands

You shoot the crowd.

Your job is the stands — the emotions, the celebrations, the moments the players never see. You're not covering the pitch. You're where the real story is: 60,000 fans living something they won't forget.

03
Powered by facial recognition

Fans find themselves in seconds.

Using Banlek's facial recognition technology, every fan can locate their own photos in seconds — no manual searching, no private galleries to dig through. They see their face. They buy. That fast.

04
Scales with your work

You earn on every sale.

Every photo purchased by a fan generates a commission for you. No cap. No renegotiation. No waiting on a client. The platform handles payments, delivery, and fan support. You focus on shooting.

The Difference

This isn't a gig. It's a new way to build your photography business.

Traditional event photography pays you once for your time. The risk reversal model pays you for your results — and your results can keep compounding long after the final whistle.

No client. No waiting.

No invoicing. No 30-day payment terms. No negotiating your rate. When a fan buys, you earn — automatically. Payouts clear in 1–3 business days.

Income that scales.

A better shot sells more. A full stand means more potential buyers. Your effort and your eye translate directly into what you earn. There's no ceiling.

The platform does the rest.

Fan search, payment processing, photo delivery, anti-screen-capture protection — Banlek handles all of it. You focus on shooting. We handle everything else.

Now we're bringing this model to US Soccer — and we're looking for the right photographers to be part of it.

Is This for You?

This is for photographers who work for results.

Experience with fast-moving subjects

Sports, concerts, or any high-energy event where you can't ask for a reshoot.

Ability to work in a crowd

You know how to move through a packed stand without disrupting the fan experience.

Results-driven mindset

You want to earn based on the quality of your work — not a flat hourly rate someone else sets.

Available on match day

You must be available to shoot on the assigned match day and venue — details shared after selection.

No prior soccer photography experience required. What matters is your eye, your gear, and your drive to shoot in a live, high-energy environment. We select photographers per event — apply early.
