2012 is just around the corner and I am looking for dedicated, passionate, amazing, well you don’t have to be amazing, BUT definitely driven photographers who would like to add to the Justin Element Team for the 2012 year.
We are usually a yearly rotating team that work at events including weddings, birthdays, parties, anniversaries, engagement sessions, after sessions and more. All individuals are hired contractual and paid per event and require formal attire and grooming when appropriate. Most events are on the weekends a flexible schedule is a must.
The assistant position is definitely a position for learning photographers. For the most part, you would accompany the team during any events or sessions, literally protect and safe guard equipment and memory cards, keep track of the day’s events and itinerary, assist with lighting and environment aesthetics, many a time bounce ideas and good shots back and forth with the shooters, and lastly play with our walkie talkie headsets. :)
The Associate Photographer position is the 2nd or even 3rd shooter at a wedding or other event and requires more experience and confidence. You will need a strong working knowledge of the DSLR and shooting techniques but still have a passion to hone your skills in photography. You will be trained in shooting in a similar style as myself and should be able to adapt and process information quickly; as well as interact with clients and provide creative feedback. You will be required to provide an online portfolio of your work and bring your DSLR to your interview.
