    Might be a silly question but I am a budding photographer. Do you have to be attached to a paper in order to be allowed to gain access to football matches etc or whats the deal? What do I need to do?

    Thanks in advance

    Thing is, don't jump in at the deep end. Start of small with the local clubs etc and build up a portfolio. Then think about getting into the League Of Ireland scene when you're comfortable dealing with poor lighting etc.

    Do you then show your portfolio to the FAI or what to gain access to the LOI matches ?

    Every club can be different.

    I actually went the same way as Ken. :-)

    Some clubs want to see what you can produce, and what you plan to do with the images. Some will ask for your insurance certs (Public Liability Insurance). Some will let almost anyone in.

    There is no simple answer.
