This is meant to be an overall cost-saving alternative if anyone is interested in sponsoring an event. THAT BEING SAID, if I attend a race that is NOT officially sponsored and choose to make photos available for individual purchase, pricing is as follows:
--Low-resolution, web-sized images: No longer available for download
--High-resolution images: $50–$75 per image
--Commercial license (sponsors, brands, fundraising, advertising, promotional use): $400-$500 per image

⚠️ Sponsorship Disclaimer
While photography coverage includes all competing athletes, priority will be given to photographing athletes connected to the sponsoring individual or group. Every reasonable effort will be made to photograph all participants, but complete coverage of every athlete cannot be guaranteed.
No refunds will be issued if an athlete is unable to compete due to injury, equipment failure, travel issues, or other unforeseen circumstances.
