Photographers Wanted
Full-Time Pro Photographer
Training available in July / August, live photography starts in September.
We are looking for one seasoned pro photographer for full-time work, starting summer 2019 and ongoing. Experience in school, sports and/or wedding or portrait photography is required for this position (please see the next position below if you do not have professional experience). And – must love kids!
This position is full-time, with a photographer who can work independently or teaching others, with high-volume school and sports photography, and studio portraits.
During our busy season of September through November, we are going 7 days per week with some evenings, so flexible working hours are a must (as is reliable transportation, we are working on location around the Lower Mainland). All equipment is provided by Photo Expressions. Must have reliable transportation.
The appropriate candidate will be well compensated for this important position.
To apply for this position, please forward your resumé and cover letter to info [@] photoexpressions.ca, or bring them personally to our store. Be sure to indicate you are applying for the “Full-Time Pro Photographer” position.
Full-Time or Part-Time Aspiring Photographers
Training available in July / August, live photography starts in September.
Maybe you’ve got what it takes:
- Love of photography
- Love of working with people
- Flexible hours
- Desire for seasonal work
Perhaps you are a stay-at-home parent looking to get back into the workforce seasonally or part-time to make some vacation money or help pay the bills. Maybe you are looking at starting a post-secondary photography diploma or degree and want some job experience. Maybe you’ve already completed a degree or some combination of the above.
The key is, we are not hiring for a specific technical skill set and you don’t need formal photography education – all you really need are the 4 things listed above!
The type of photography we are hiring for is school and sports photography. By the time the season starts, you will be trained in our system of lighting, posing and taking hundreds of portraits per day. The system is simple, it’s the people running it that make the difference. And of course professional portrait photography training or experience is a plus. We also have a portrait studio in our Port Coquitlam storefront.
