Photographer Youth Sports

Los Angeles CA

Description

We are a Team and Individual youth sports photo company needing photographers for weekend work taking posed team and individual photos. NOT ACTION PHOTOS. You must have a DSLR with an appropriate lens 28-70 or 35-70 or 30-55 mm, etc. No long lens. You also need a flash but if you don't have one we will lend you one. We have seasonal work throughout the year and most work is Saturdays and Sundays. Our lead photographers work 30-40 gigs per year, and we have others that just work a few. I need you to send me some details about yourself, your education and any relevant experience. You MUST have a reliable car to do this job. If you have a friend or significant other, I often hire couples or friends to work together. The photographer pay Starts at $25.00 per hour (plus overtime if applicable). We also pay mileage at $.55 per mile. Average shoots are 6-10 hours of paid time (4 hrs pay guaranteed). This is high volume cookie cutter photography where the creativity is getting the kid to smile, we tell you exactly how to do it. Finally, some weekends you must be able to get out of bed as early as 5 a.m. and this means forgoing some weekend partying (can you do that?) because if you fail to show at a gig you leave hundreds of families with kids angry and that is a really bad thing! So, tell me about yourself and I will get back back to you and explain on how we do the shoots. If you just say "I'm interested" I won't respond as I will get plenty of folks who do actually respond with details about themselves and why a weekend job working at parks taking photos of kids would be a good fit for them. Also, feel free to ask me questions as long as you tell me about yourself, i will answer any question. Finally, Shoots are all over So. Cal. but you can limit your driving if you like, I try to work with people based on their limits and you DO NOT have to work every gig, you can work just sometimes or work a lot. We also hire assistants so if you have a friend who can help, let us know. Please include your phone number so I can call you
