PHOTOGRAPHERS

Traverse City Horse Shows is proud to partner with Andrew Ryback Photography as our exclusive Official Show Photographer. Exhibitors can view their photos on-site or online at www.AndrewRyback.com. Photo requests for media/editorial purposes should contact Allyson at Phelps Media.

Traverse City Horse Shows requires all freelance photographers to apply for a Freelance Photographer Pass, separate from a media credential, if they plan to give or sell their photos for exhibitor/competitor use.

Weekly pass is $750 per photographer, no discounts for additional photographer.
Season pass is $7,500 for the first photographer and $5,000 for additional photographers (A $250 late fee applies to applications received past the May 14 deadline).
A certificate of insurance is required by photographers, adding Traverse City Horse Shows, LLC to the additionally insured.
The Official Photographer has positioning priorities outside of the arenas; Freelance photographers are not allowed inside of the arenas except for award presentations if their client is in the awards.
All credentialed media and photographers are required to sign Covid-19 waiver and follow all Covid-19 rules and protocols set forth by the show.

By applying for the Freelance Photographer Credential, you agree to abide by these rules; credentials may be revoked without refund if rules are violated. A limited number of freelance photographer credentials are available and are subject to management approval.

Credentialing for ALL freelance photographers for the 2021 season will close Friday, May 14 (A $250 late fee applies to applications received past the May 14 deadline).
Payment will be required in full prior to the start of the TCHS series in which the freelance photographer is attending.
Client lists must be received no later than one week prior to the start of each event - TCS, GLEF and TCF. Client lists can change between each series, but all approved freelance photographers may not solicit new clients beyond the client list submitted at time of approval.
Freelance Photographers cannot offer photos for individual purchase in-person or on a website.
A credential request application does not guarantee approval. Once a freelance photographer application is received, it will be reviewed and a Phelps Media Group representative will be in touch regarding approval, client lists and payment information.
