How to Find Photos of Yourself at a Sports Event

The short answer: use Surf Snaps Explore and search by sport, location and date. Photographers tag every session with those three details, so you can find yourself at any event without knowing who shot it.

The fastest way to find yourself

Go to Explore.
Pick your sport: surfing, soccer, running, cycling, basketball, snowboarding, skiing, volleyball, baseball, football, golf, swimming, motocross or any other sport you play.
Enter where it happened: a venue, a city or a state.
Enter the date, then browse the galleries that match.

You can browse without an account. You will need one to buy a photo.

Questions people ask, and the quick answers

How do I find photos from my game? Search by sport, the field or venue and the date.
How do I find photos from a competition? Search the sport and the city or state, then the date of the event.
I do not know the photographer. Can I still find my photos? Yes. That is what event-based search is for.
Can I find photos from last month? Yes, if a photographer uploaded the session. Set the date and search.

How to be sure it is you

Previews are watermarked but full size on screen, so you can check faces, jerseys, numbers and equipment before you pay. Look for your jersey number, your board, your bike or your team colors. If a gallery has many photos, scan for the time of day you were playing.

What you pay

Photographers set the price per photo, and photos start from $8. You pay per photo with no packages or minimums. After payment, the watermark is removed and you can download the full-resolution original from My Purchases. Payments are by card, processed through Stripe.

If you cannot find your session

Photographers upload on their own schedule, so check again after a few days.
Try the city or state instead of the exact venue.
Ask teammates or friends who might have shot it, and have them upload.
Book a photographer for your next game. Photographers who take bookings show their rate and open hours on their profile, and every request needs their confirmation.

For photographers

Athletes and families are searching for you. Upload your next session and they can find it by sport, place and date. Joining and uploading are free, with no storage bill, and the Surf Snaps fee of up to 10% only applies when a photo sells and can be passed on to the customer. You keep the copyright.
