What’s involved
A boutique NYC school photography company is staffing up for the fall season and hiring for two roles working K-12 portrait days around the city. Production coordinators help get shoot days set up and running — early-morning travel to school sites, equipment setup and breakdown, and keeping things moving smoothly. A valid driver's license with a clean record is required. Pay starts around $24/hr while training, moving up to $48/hr. Photographers need real portrait/headshot experience, comfort with professional cameras and lighting, and a genuine love of working with kids — group and volume/school photography experience is a plus. Pay starts around $24/hr while training, up to $55/hr with experience. Both roles call for flexibility, punctuality, and a positive, team-oriented attitude. Work is busiest in the fall school season, with recurring freelance opportunities after that for the right people, so an open weekday schedule matters. To apply, send a resume and a short note about your relevant experience by email — photographers, a portfolio link is helpful. Please include request code CHINATOWNSCHOOLPHOTO somewhere in your message.
