Sports Photography Gathering

The DPPF Gathering is not where you go to learn photography, its where you go to be supported as a professional photographer.  Our community fosters professional development in action.

Programming includes panels and breakout groups led by industry leaders across sports media, editorial, and commercial photography. These sessions dive into real-world topics like pitching stories, building sustainable careers, navigating contracts, and breaking into traditionally exclusive spaces. The weekend is designed to be both creatively invigorating and practically valuable.

“It’s such a wonderful thing to be a part of the sports photography world and opportunities like this make it even sweeter. Winning the grant was only the beginning of what I gained when I was selected a year ago, I will be forever grateful for everything that Doug's legacy is adding to our little sports photography world.”
