The new model for fan photography at USMNT matches — two confirmed games across the U.S. this fall. 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 U.S. Soccer national-team matches this fall — and we're looking for the right photographers to be part of it.
You shoot the crowd. Fans find and buy their own photos. You earn a commission on every sale. Here's how.
Apply, get selected, receive your access credential for the match 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 crowd — the reactions, the celebrations, the group energy that erupts on every goal. Your sellable shot is always the same: fans in their colors, face paint, flags and full emotion, living matchday together.
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.
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 the crowd.
Spots are limited per game. 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. A full stand means more potential buyers. Your effort and your eye translate directly into what you earn. There's no ceiling.
Fan search, payment processing, photo delivery, anti-screen-capture protection — Banlek handles all of it. You focus on shooting.
No prior soccer or event photography experience required. What matters is your eye, your gear, and your ability to capture real emotion in a live crowd.
Concerts, festivals, sports bars — any charged atmosphere where emotion moves fast and you can't ask for a reshoot.
You know how to move through a packed stadium — supporters' sections, concourse, stands — without disrupting the experience.
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 fan finds their own photos in seconds. Delivery, payment and fan support are handled by the platform.
