This Fri JULY 10th & 11th, 8am-6pm. By putting in for this job you are saying you're available for this one day gig during these hours.
Where? Bicentennial Park in Gillette, WY & surrounding area.
300 W Warlow Dr, Gillette, WY 82716
YOU ARE BEING HIRED AS A LOCAL, SO NO HOTEL/GAS IS PROVIDED FOR THIS GIG. You should be within 90 min of this location.
IMPORTANT: You need to know basic photography, including how to quickly change exposure on manual setting. If you show up and don't know how to take properly exposed and focused photos fast, you will be sent home without pay.
What is the GIG?
$225/10 hr day x 2 Days= $450
Gig is standing in foul ball territory of youth softball games and consistently getting specific photos we need you to get, about 10 specific photos per player for about 22 players per game. By the end of the day (after about 5-7 games) you'll turn in our SD card back to us with approx 200 unique action shots each game or about 1500-2500 photos. These are taken during live game play, not posed, so we're just getting as many photos as we can of every player.
You may be asked to come in on the morning an hour before work starts to go over basics and to show you know how to take the photos being asked of you.
You must be in good physical condition to be able to stand on the field and take these photos, doing motions such as standing for long periods and small amounts of running/moving to stay out of the way of gameplay. You must know how to operate your camera on manual mode (auto settings are not acceptable) & understand the basics of photography (how to control and change exposure quickly and often). Outdoor/event/sports photography experience will be given priority. We don't do burst mode and we don't use monopods. If you use your camera, you need to have a 300mm zoom lens or better for this work. Any less or prime lenses don't work.
Small Print to be aware of:
We expect you to be working all hrs, but if you leave early/ skip days you will be paid for the time you were there only at $18/hr.
We will check your photos a few times throughout the day, but if you do not follow our instructions (ie not get the photos we ask, photos are not properly taken, extreme undershooting) you may be let go early or if the photos are very bad (not following our direction to an extreme level) you will not be paid because you did not fulfill the job.
This isn't a job you can just stand there getting whatever and get paid. We give specific instructions of what we're looking for & expect you to follow it. It's important that you make sure your photos are acceptable and meeting expectations as you go forward through the day. Once you get in the rhythm the job is fun and repeatable every game. If you like the work, there are other opportunies to work with us in other areas and in future years. Many photographers work with us for multiple years and enjoy the job.
SEND US YOUR PHOTO SAMPLES OF SPORTING EVENTS OR LIVE EVENTS AND TELL US YOUR CAMERA TYPE AND ZOOM LENS (NO FIXED LENSES ARE ACCEPTABLE).
Pay: $225.00 per day
Work Location: In person
