Job Description
Are you a passionate and skilled photographer with a keen eye for detail and a knack for capturing the essence of both vibrant events and impactful commercial narratives? Career.zycto is seeking a talented freelance Photographer specializing in Events and Commercial work to join our network of creative professionals in Hatfield, Mandeville. This is an exciting opportunity for an individual who thrives in dynamic environments, possesses exceptional technical abilities, and can consistently deliver stunning, high-quality imagery that tells a compelling story.
As a freelance Photographer within our network, you will be instrumental in bringing our clients’ visions to life. Your assignments will span a wide array of projects, from capturing the energy and emotion of corporate gatherings, social events, conferences, and celebrations, to executing sophisticated commercial shoots for products, services, and branding campaigns. We value photographers who can not only master lighting, composition, and post-production but also possess excellent interpersonal skills to connect with subjects and clients, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable shoot experience.
We are looking for someone who understands the nuanced demands of both event and commercial photography. For events, you’ll need the agility to anticipate key moments, work discreetly, and document the atmosphere authentically. For commercial work, a strategic approach to visual storytelling, meticulous attention to detail, and an understanding of brand guidelines will be paramount. You will be expected to utilize your own professional-grade equipment, including cameras, lenses, lighting, and necessary accessories, to produce exceptional results consistently.
