The new model for photography at amateur soccer tournaments across the U.S. — players, teams and families buy their own photos. No upfront cost, no flat fees, no limits on what you can make.
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.

Now we're bringing this model to amateur soccer tournaments across the U.S. — and we're looking for the right photographers to be part of it.
You shoot the matches. Players and families find and buy their own photos. You earn a commission on every sale. Here's how.
Apply, get selected, receive your credential for the tournament you're assigned. No fees to join the program. No client to pitch. Banlek handles the accreditation — you handle the camera.
Your job is the people on the field — the tackles, the goals, the celebrations, the team huddles and the families on the sideline. Every player in every match is a potential buyer.
Using Banlek's facial recognition technology, every player can locate their own photos in seconds — no manual searching, no private galleries to dig through. They see their face. They buy. That fast.
Every photo purchased by a player or their family generates a commission for you. No cap. No renegotiation. No waiting on a client. The platform handles payments, delivery, and customer support. You focus on the game.
Spots are limited per tournament. Pick the date and city that fit your schedule and submit your application.

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 event ends.
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.
A better shot sells more. More teams on the field means more potential buyers. Your effort and your eye translate directly into what you earn. There's no ceiling.
Player search, payment processing, photo delivery, anti-screen-capture protection — Banlek handles all of it. You focus on shooting.
No prior soccer photography experience required. What matters is your eye, your gear, and your ability to capture real emotion on the field.
Sports, events, kids' games — any setting where the moment moves fast and you can't ask for a reshoot.
You know how to move between fields and along the sideline without getting in the way of play.
You want to earn based on the quality of your work — not a flat hourly rate someone else sets.
You must be available to shoot on the assigned date at the venue — details shared after selection.
No. Applying is free, and there are no fees to join the program. Banlek handles the accreditation.
You earn a commission on every photo a fan buys. Payments process automatically — no invoicing — and payouts clear in 1–3 business days.
With Banlek's facial recognition, each player finds their own photos in seconds. Delivery, payment and fan support are handled by the platform.
