New York Photographers: Remix Sports Media Wants to Capture the Knicks' Untold Stories
New York Photographers: Remix Sports Media Wants to Capture the Knicks' Untold Stories
New York. The city where basketball was never just a sport — it was a language. From the iconic asphalt courts of Rucker Park to the electric roar of Madison Square Garden on a January night, the Knicks and the culture that surrounds them represent something bigger than wins and losses. This is a city that lives and breathes basketball, and the stories that come out of it deserve to be told by the people who actually live them.
That's where you come in.
Remix Sports Media is actively recruiting basketball photographers in New York City and the surrounding metro area to join our growing network of content creators. If you've got a camera, a passion for the game, and an eye for the moments that matter — the celebratory glances, the sideline intensity, the pickup game magic — we want to hear from you.
The Content We Want to Create in New York
New York is one of the most photographically rich NBA markets in the world. The Knicks' rebirth as a genuine playoff contender has rekindled a city-wide energy that hasn't been felt in years. Fans are showing up. The streets are talking. And Madison Square Garden — the World's Most Famous Arena — is buzzing again.
Remix Sports Media wants photographers on the ground to capture that energy in fresh, original ways. We're not looking for recycled wire service shots. We want:
Fan photography at watch parties, outdoor game screenings, and pregame gatherings across the five boroughs
Street-level basketball storytelling: pickup games, community tournaments, and the playgrounds that shaped Knicks legends
Event coverage of Knicks community programs, youth basketball clinics, and local basketball nights
Behind-the-scenes visuals from the New York sports media scene — press rows, media days, and beat reporters in action
Portrait-style work featuring local players, coaches, and fans with deep connections to Knicks basketball
The best stories aren't always inside the arena. Some of the most powerful Knicks stories are happening on 155th Street, in the Bronx rec centers, and in the barbershops where people debate starting lineups every single day. We want a photographer who sees that.
Who We're Looking For
We're building a network of local creators — not a full-time staff. Whether you shoot on a professional mirrorless kit or a high-end smartphone, the most important thing is that you have a vision and you know how to execute it.
The right New York photographer for Remix Sports Media:
Is based in New York City or the tri-state area and is actively embedded in the basketball community
Has a portfolio that shows range — action shots, crowd moments, portraits, or street photography related to sports or urban culture
Is comfortable working independently, turning around content quickly, and communicating through digital platforms
Brings a genuine point of view — not just technical skill, but a specific New York perspective
Is available to cover events, games, or community moments on flexible scheduling
Prior professional experience is welcome but not required. We care far more about your eye and your hustle than your resume. If you've been shooting at Rucker Park on weekends because you love the game, that matters to us.
The Kind of Stories That Get Our Attention
When you apply, we'll ask you to pitch one original story idea from your market. Here's the kind of thinking that excites us:
"I want to document the fans who've held Knicks season tickets through the dark years — what kept them coming back?"
"There's a legendary outdoor court in my neighborhood where past Knicks players used to practice. I want to tell its story."
"The Knicks' recent success has changed the energy at local sports bars. I want to photograph that transformation."
"I've been covering youth basketball tournaments in Brooklyn for two years. Here's my portfolio."
These are the kinds of angles that separate a Remix Sports Media creator from someone who just shoots sporting events. We want storytellers who are already obsessed with New York basketball.
How to Apply
If you're a New York-based photographer ready to tell the stories that make Knicks basketball culture unlike anything else in the country, we want to connect with you right now.
When you apply, please include:
Your portfolio or sample work (link to website, Google Drive, Dropbox, or social media)
Your social media handles (Instagram, Twitter/X, TikTok, or any platform where you share your photography)
A brief description of your availability and how you work
One original story idea you'd want to create in the New York Knicks market
You don't need to have worked with a major sports media outlet before. You don't need press credentials. You need a camera, a vision, and the kind of love for New York basketball that gets you out of bed early on a game day.
New York Is Ready. Are You?
The Knicks are back in the conversation. The city is fired up. And the basketball stories waiting to be told in New York right now are some of the most compelling in the NBA. Remix Sports Media is building the team to tell them — and we want a New York photographer leading that charge.
Your city. Your community. Your lens. Let's get to work.
