This role offers an incredible opportunity to work on diverse projects, from capturing the energy and emotion of corporate gatherings, social events, and public functions, to producing high-quality imagery for businesses’ marketing campaigns, product launches, and brand stories across various sectors.
As a freelance Photographer specializing in Events & Commercial work, you will be instrumental in bringing our clients’ visions to life through exceptional visual content. We are looking for someone who can not only master the technical aspects of photography – understanding advanced lighting setups, composition, aperture, shutter speed, and professional post-processing techniques – but also possesses the artistic flair and storytelling ability to evoke emotion and convey messages with every shot. You will be expected to work independently, manage your own schedule, and consistently deliver outstanding results under various conditions, including tight deadlines and changing environments. This position requires a high degree of adaptability, a strong creative vision, and an excellent client-facing demeanor. You’ll represent Career.zycto on assignments, collaborating closely with clients to thoroughly understand their specific needs, brand guidelines, and desired outcomes, translating them into stunning visual assets.
Our ideal candidate is someone who thrives in dynamic, fast-paced environments, enjoys the challenge of diverse assignments, and is committed to continuous improvement in their craft. You will be responsible for end-to-end photography services, including initial pre-production consultations, detailed planning, on-site shooting with professional-grade equipment, meticulous image selection, expert editing and retouching, and timely final delivery of assets in required formats. This is a project-based role, perfect for a self-motivated professional looking to expand their portfolio significantly, work with a variety of clients from startups to established enterprises, and grow their reputation within Jamaica’s thriving creative industry. If you are ready to immerse yourself in exciting projects, craft memorable imagery that makes a tangible impact, and become a valued part of the Career.zycto creative community, we encourage you to apply.
