The Experience

This isn't a camera class.
It's a credential.

You already know how to shoot. This workshop gives you what you can't Google: arena-specific tactics, live game pressure, and an official IFL media pass that puts you on the sideline of a professional game.

Led by Kevin Boller — sports photographer, Director of the Florida School of Photography, and veteran sideline shooter for Florida SouthWestern State College across four sports.

📍
Kia Center, Orlando
Home of the Orlando Pirates. Same arena as the Orlando Magic. You'll shoot where the pros shoot.
🪪
Official IFL Media Credential
Not a fan pass. A real media credential granting full media access for the entire game.
🎯
10 Photographers Maximum
Intentionally small. Every participant gets real-time attention, not a seat in a lecture hall.
📸
Your Work Goes to the Pirates
The best images from the day are delivered directly to the Orlando Pirates for official use.
IFL indoor football action — ball carrier sprinting down the field with a defender in pursuit.
Peak action at the IFL — receiver leaping for a catch above the turf at arena level.

FAQ

Questions

Advanced amateurs and semi-professionals who already know their camera basics and want arena-specific tactics. If you shoot in Manual mode and understand aperture, shutter, and ISO — you're ready.

A DSLR or mirrorless camera capable of burst shooting. A 70–200mm f/2.8 is a good lens, fast lens are best, and longer lens like a 300 or 400 might be great, but we'll discuss alternatives during the classroom session. No tripods on the field. No Flash!

Your official single-game IFL media credential grants you full media access for the full game at Kia Center. You'll shoot from the same positions as professional media — designated sideline and media areas.

Spots are filled in registration order, subject to a brief gear/experience review. We keep the group small intentionally — this is hands-on, not a crowd.

Once you've had a chance to decompress, we'll regroup on a Microsoft Teams call to review the experience, answer lingering questions, and talk through your images. You'll also submit your best 200+ shots to Kevin, who curates a final collection delivered to the Orlando Pirates within 4 days. Your work goes directly to a professional sports organization.

Full refund if cancelled more than 14 days before the event. No refunds within 14 days, but your spot may be transferred to another qualified photographer.
