The topic of photographer compensation in derby is a pretty touchy subject for some people.  I'm still wrapping my head around my expectations moving forward in light of a few factors including how leagues and tournaments treat photographers.

Regardless, I remain committed to my perspective that skaters, their league, and their family (however they wish to define such) will be welcome to access digital images for no cost.  If you want to pay, terrific; it can help offset the approximately 9,000.00 I spent last year (2014) in travel expenses.  If not, then you will want to use one of the following discount codes for digital downloads only - i cannot discount any print orders.

League - 100% discount is for skaters and their leagues on pictures depicting them

FriFam - Friends & Family of the skaters depicted in the images - 100% discount

karma - this is the "pay it forward" option where in lieu of payment you donate money to either a junior derby league, or to any of the dog based charities - Fences for Fido, No-Kill Shelters,  Breed Rescue groups, etc.  

Every other use where someone makes money, it is only fair that I am compensated.  This includes (but isn't limited to): 

• "images for sponsorship" where vendors ask the skaters to deliver images for use; they can play whatever word games they want - this is marketing and a photog deserves to be compensated
• Derivative Art - you want to make a sticker / tshirt / calendar / etc and sell it
• editorial use - if the media outlet can pay for words, it can pay for pictures
• pure marketing - your product is in the picture of awesomeness and you want to showcase it
