Wanted: Photography Assistant
Hello friends. I am looking for a photography assistant to help with athletic photoshoots in Calgary, Alberta!
Here is some basic info:
Many shoots are outside and on location, so they require set-up and tear down and of course have to contend with weather (for one person, breezy weather is very difficult to shoot with lights/softboxes)
Photoshoots would start out as being somewhat infrequent as I continue to grow this side of the business, but with the goal of more consistent photoshoots.
Photoshoots may be 2-3 hours in length, but with the intention to take on larger jobs.
The assistant would help carry and set-up equipment, hold lights, be a second set of eyes if they had a creative idea.
Considering I am a small business and the requirements for the assistant are pretty basic, I can offer minimum wage, but wanted it to feel like more than an unpaid internship
What else can you get out of it?
Be part of a small, creative team. Learn some photography skills, including composition, lighting, directing athletes/models, and more.
Why take courses on these skills when you can get paid to get involved?
Requirements:
Must love photography
Must be reliable
Must be personable
Must be able to get around the city
Must have read this far down this page
Contact me here if you’d like more information, but this should cover most of it!
