Wellington International Photography Collective

Membership in the Wellington International Photography Collective is extended to all accepted full-season private photographers and/or videographers. Participating businesses will receive a 25% discount on the primary shooter's fee in exchange for the submission of five watermarked photos, video clips or edited reels each week. Images must be submitted each week by Tuesday at 4pm ET. 

“The Collective” was started in 2022 by Wellington International to encourage a broader view of the showgrounds and all its happenings by requiring participating photographers to submit a selection of their favorite images and videos each week. The result has been a spectacular demonstration of what can happen when fellow creatives come together with unique perspectives ranging between pony moments to the International Arena and everywhere in between. This program has elevated the visual experience of the horse show and contributed to a collaborative environment among creative professionals which is now emulated by additional events nationwide.  

Liability Requirements

All private photographers and videographers will be required to indemnify Wellington International and its affiliates for liability, as well as carry and keep liability insurance with combined limits of liability for personal injury (including death) and property damage of $1,000,000 per occurrence. A certificate of insurance with Equestrian Sport Productions, LLC (14440 Pierson Road, Wellington, FL, 33414) named as additionally insured is required from each business and/or individual.
