Job Description
Are you a talented and passionate freelance photographer with a keen eye for detail and a knack for capturing the essence of every moment? Career.zycto is seeking dynamic and skilled freelance photographers to join our expanding network of creative professionals in Gregory Park, Portmore, and surrounding areas. This is an exceptional opportunity for a creative individual to partner with a diverse range of clients, from local businesses needing compelling commercial imagery to individuals and organizations hosting vibrant events.
As a freelance photographer, you will be instrumental in bringing our clients’ visions to life through stunning visual content. Your assignments will span a broad spectrum, including corporate events, conferences, product launches, brand campaigns, real estate photography, intimate social gatherings, and lively community festivals. Each project presents a unique challenge and a chance to showcase your artistic flair, technical proficiency, and ability to adapt to varying environments and client briefs. We are looking for someone who can not only operate professional-grade equipment but also possess a strong understanding of lighting, composition, and storytelling through imagery.
Your role will extend beyond just snapping photos; you will be responsible for end-to-end project management, from initial client consultations and understanding their specific needs, to executing the shoot with professionalism and creativity, and finally, delivering impeccably edited, high-resolution images within agreed-upon timelines. Collaboration and clear communication are key, as you will often work closely with clients to ensure their expectations are not just met, but exceeded. This position demands a self-motivated individual who is comfortable managing their own schedule, equipment, and workflow, while consistently delivering exceptional results that uphold our commitment to quality.
