Photography Services

Burst Mode Media is a working newsroom first - but the photography behind it is available for hire. If you run a program, coach a club team, manage an outlet, or just want professional images of your athlete, you can book the same camera that covers the press box.

Find your fit

Packages are organized by who you are and what you need. Prices are starting points - every job is confirmed in writing before booking, based on venue, travel, turnaround, deliverable count, and usage rights.

Rush delivery (under 24 hours), travel outside the Austin metro, and exclusive rights are quoted separately.

How booking works

1. Send the event details - sport, date, venue, and what you need - via the contact form (choose “Photography assignment” or “Photo licensing”) or email hello@burstmodemedia.com.
2. We reply with availability and a written quote. Every job is confirmed in writing before booking - no surprises.
3. Assignments are secured with a deposit (typically 50%). Licenses and smaller personal packages are paid in full before delivery.
4. We send an invoice with a secure payment link. We shoot, edit, and deliver a high-resolution gallery with usage rights spelled out in writing.
5. Final balance (if any) is due before gallery delivery unless otherwise agreed.

We do not take walk-up checkout on this site. Rates above are starting points; your quote is the binding price for that job.

Where our integrity comes first

Commercial photography is a separate service from our editorial coverage, and we keep the line bright:

• We do not use press credentials to produce paid client deliverables. Credentialed access is for editorial coverage only.
• Paid work never buys coverage. Hiring us does not place stories on burstmodemedia.com, and our reporting is never conditioned on commercial relationships.
• If a commercial relationship could affect a story, we disclose it - see our editorial standards.
• Booking us does not imply affiliation with any team, league, or university we cover.
