Athleap is building a national network of visual storytellers to document the rise of women's sports — city by city, game by game, moment by moment. We're looking for photographers and videographers who don't just shoot sports. They feel it.

Target WNBA Markets — Season 2026

The Athleap is a sports media company covering the culture and business of women's sports. We're building a national platform where the stories that happen on and off the court get the editorial attention they've always deserved.

As we expand our coverage across WNBA cities this season, we're inviting a select group of visual creatives to join us as official Athleap Visual Ambassadors — the people who capture the moments that our editorial team turns into stories.

We're building
city by city.

The right person
already knows this space.

We're selective because the work matters. We're not looking for someone to point a camera — we're looking for creatives who understand that women's sports has a culture, a community, and a visual language all its own.

If you've been waiting for a platform that treats women's sports with the same editorial seriousness that it deserves — this is it.

  • Experience shooting live sports, events, or editorial content — professional or serious independent work
  • An existing portfolio that demonstrates your eye, not just your equipment
  • Genuine passion for women's sports — you follow the game, you know the players, you care about the stories
  • Comfortable shooting both highlight action content and behind-the-scenes cultural moments

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. We prioritize cities where we don't yet have coverage, so if you're based in New York, DC, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Phoenix, or Minnesota — we want to hear from you.

Selected ambassadors will be contacted within two weeks of application. We'll have a brief introductory call to make sure the fit is right on both sides before confirming your role.

By applying you agree to allow Athleap to contact you regarding your application. We do not share your information with third parties.
