Chicago Photographers: Remix Sports Media Wants Your Lens on Bulls Country and the City's Courts

Chicago Photographers: Remix Sports Media Wants Your Lens on Bulls Country and the City's Courts

Chicago does not do basketball quietly. It lives in the roar of the United Center, in the rattle of a chain net at a neighborhood park, and in the Chicago Public League gyms where the next big story is always one crossover away. This is a city that raised generations of hoopers, and every one of them has a face, a jersey and a story worth freezing in a frame.

Remix Sports Media is building a national network of creators who can produce original basketball stories in their own hometowns, and we are looking for Chicago photographers who can show the world what Bulls country really looks like. If you shoot basketball, or you are ready to start, consider this your invitation.

The Chicago Basketball Photography We Want to Create

We are not chasing generic action shots. We want images with a Chicago point of view, the kind that make a fan in another time zone feel the wind off the lake and the heat of a packed gym. Here is the original work we want to build with you:

• Fan portraits outside the United Center on game days, from the crowds gathered around the Michael Jordan statue to families who have shared the same seats for decades.

• Neighborhood court stories: the pickup runs, the park legends and the coaches who keep the lights on for local kids.

• High school and Chicago Public League photo essays that capture the energy of a gym on a Friday night.

• Community basketball events, youth camps, charity games and tournaments across the city and suburbs.

• Portrait series and behind-the-scenes images that support creator-led shows, short-form video and social storytelling.

We are focused on public spaces and events where you already have permission to shoot. Great Chicago basketball stories do not require a press pass, they require access to your community and a sharp eye.

The Photographers We Want to Meet

Great basketball photography starts with someone who knows the city. We want to meet:

• Sports and action photographers who understand timing, light and the rhythm of a basketball game.

• Street and documentary photographers who can find the human story on a neighborhood court.

• Event photographers who work fast and deliver clean, edited images.

• Emerging shooters and students building a portfolio with a strong eye and real hustle.

• Photographers who also shoot short-form video or want to collaborate with Chicago videographers and hosts.

You do not need a long résumé. You need a point of view, reliable gear and a love for Chicago hoops.

How to Apply

Applying takes just a few minutes. When you submit your information, be ready to share:

• Your portfolio or samples: a website, gallery, Instagram page or a folder of your best work.

• Your social handles, so we can see how you present your work and your voice.

• Your availability, including the days, evenings and weekends you could realistically shoot.

• One original story idea from Chicago: a person, a place, a team or a moment you believe deserves to be photographed.

Your story idea matters as much as your gear. Tell us about the corner court that never closes, the coach nobody has profiled yet, or the tournament that deserves a bigger spotlight. Specific ideas stand out.

A quick note on expectations: Remix Sports Media is building this network step by step. Submitting an application does not guarantee payment, employment, NBA credentials, arena access, player interviews or any specific assignment. If we see a fit, we will reach out with next steps.

Show Chicago Through Your Lens

The United Center rafters hold six championship banners from the 1990s, but Chicago basketball culture runs far deeper than any single era. The next chapter will be told by the people who live here, and it could start with your photograph.
