What is the Houston Sports Zone? A collection of writers and photographers who are sports fans that pride ourselves on covering sports events. We have covered everything from college & pro sports, to charity events and little leagues, with all things in between. If you have an event that you feel could use some media coverage, please let us know. We are open as long as time permits.

Picture Stock maintains a worldwide database of photographers who are available to cover photo assignments. Our clients, many of whom are magazine and newspaper editors, contact us on a daily basis looking for available photographers to cover upcoming events or breaking news from around the world. Some of the assignments may include an upcoming concert, sporting event, parade or festival, press conference, a celebrity in town, election coverage or politics, a funeral, a picture of a person someone is doing a story on or breaking news just to name a few. Newspapers and magazines find it much more cost effective to assign a photographer living in the city or town in which the event or assignment is taking place, rather than to send a staff photographer across the country to shoot the same assignment. The airfare, hotel accommodations, food, car rental and other expenses can quickly add up. Therefore, it is faster and more efficient for a client to contact an agency like Picture Stock and request a photographer to cover an event at a moment's notice, especially when a big news event occurs. Some assignments could be for future dates, while most are to be shot within a day or two.
