Supporting Member. If i had any inclination for shooting sports, i would give it a go. I would at least give a shot and see for yourself. Now I get it. Found this article - Gameface Media tracks toward millions in revenue this year as national, international customers grow - Boston Business Journal As the first paragraph says the company has figured out how to make big money. It was a startup in and is projecting revenue in the millions. Instead of photographers taking photos at the event and selling them, this company gives race participants free photos - with a sponsor's logo on them.
I looked at the galleries on their site and each one goes to the sponsor's site or FB page where people need to 'like' them to access their photos. Some of the pictures look like the people with cameras who shoot for them don't necessarily need to be good at framing shots or even necessarily holding a camera straight, as long and they can aim and shoot Of course it seems like people will take just about anything that's free, and I suppose the photos are better than crappy cell phone pictures.
The company has given away millions of dollars' worth of free photos. How much do you think the photographers make?? This seems to be underpriced photos and underpaid work that I think will probably cost photographers opportunities to work and make money.

They are blaming lack of investment dollars, however that was not said before I took the gig. Its not my problem they are having investment issues.
I have to pay my bills and did the work. This is not right. Pros None. Cons Non payment. Yes There are 23 helpful reviews 23 No There are 1 unhelpful reviews 1. For years gameface didn't have problems but as others have mentioned it recently has taken a turn for the worse. I'm owed quite a substaintial amount of money by them and promised I'll be paid but it's been nearly half a year and I've gotten nothing.
Unfortunately there's no way I'm going to continue working for them based on this outlook. There are plenty of other opportunities out there. It was decent work while it lasted. Pros Get a tan, take pictures of muddy chicks. Yes There are 7 helpful reviews 7 No. It's best you just stay away from GameFace Media at this point. I'm in the same boat as numerous other photographers who haven't been paid for their services. It's been nearly 8 months since I have been paid for shooting two separate events back to back.
Do yourself a favor and don't get mixed in with this company. Do a quit google search on photographers not being paid with GFM and you'll soon realize just how many people have been taken advantage of. Pros The take a big game about how much you can make. Cons They dont actually pay you. Yes There are 30 helpful reviews 30 No. Pros team work and management was good. Cons working hard but the salary wa little.
In they were fine, paid me well within 15 days as promised. This year though I'm going on 3 months and no payment. It's a well known problem. They aren't paying anyone for anything. I'm going to think long and hard if I want work for them again. Yes the work is pretty easy and the pay is good, but I seriously doubt if I'll ever get my money from May and if I worked for them again, when would I get paid.
I'm a little surprised they're able to staff their events still with photographers with this no pay policy becoming common knowledge. Pros shoot and dump. Yes There are 37 helpful reviews 37 No. Help us improve! I've shot events on and off for gameface for a year or two, and have had no issues in the past being paid. However this year the company is not paying shooters, and giving excuses that make it sound as though they are out of money. From talking to other photographers it seems as though they owe many thousands of dollars to shooters, with no one being paid over the past two or so months.
