How to Sell Sports Tournament Photos: Cricket, Football, Kabaddi, and More

Sports tournaments are a photographer's dream for photo sales. Athletes want their action shots, parents want photos of their children competing, and fans want memories of the matches. With AI face recognition, every player can find their photos instantly — and buy them on the spot.

Why Athletes and Parents Buy Sports Photos

• Achievement documentation: A diving catch, a winning goal, a personal best — athletes want professional proof.
• Parental pride: Parents at youth tournaments are the most reliable buyers. Every parent wants their child's action shots.
• Team memories: Team photos, huddle moments, and celebration shots have high group purchase potential.
• Social media: Athletes share action shots on Instagram and sports communities.

Setting Up Photo Sales for Tournaments

1. Create a sale event on Kamero's Sell Photos platform.
2. Set up Kam-Sync for real-time upload from the field.
3. Configure watermarks to protect action shots until purchase.
4. Set pricing — bundle pricing works best for multi-match tournaments.
5. Place QR codes at team dugouts, spectator areas, and medal ceremonies.
