Job Description
Are you a visually driven storyteller with a keen eye for detail and a passion for capturing the essence of moments? Career.zycto is seeking a talented and versatile freelance Photographer specializing in events and commercial projects to join our network of creative professionals in Port Antonio, Portland. This is an exciting opportunity for an individual who thrives in dynamic environments, possesses exceptional technical skills, and is adept at delivering high-quality, impactful imagery for a diverse clientele.
As a freelance Photographer within our network, you will be responsible for bringing our clients’ visions to life through stunning visuals. Your work will span a wide array of assignments, from vibrant local events, festivals, and corporate gatherings to capturing compelling commercial content for businesses, products, and services. We are looking for someone who can not only operate advanced camera equipment but also understands lighting, composition, and post-production techniques to create polished, professional results that resonate with target audiences.
The ideal candidate will have a robust portfolio showcasing their expertise in both event photography (candid shots, crowd dynamics, key moments) and commercial photography (product shots, corporate portraits, lifestyle imagery). You should be a self-starter, highly organized, and possess excellent communication skills to liaise effectively with clients and project managers. Flexibility is key, as assignments may vary in duration and require availability during evenings or weekends, depending on the event schedule. You will be expected to manage your schedule efficiently to meet project deadlines and client expectations, often working independently while maintaining close communication with our project coordinators.
This role offers significant creative freedom and the chance to work on unique projects that will broaden your experience and strengthen your professional portfolio. You’ll be an integral part of helping businesses and individuals in Port Antonio tell their stories visually, leaving a lasting impression. If you’re ready to leverage your photographic prowess in a vibrant community and grow your freelance career with consistent opportunities, we encourage you to connect with us. We value artistic vision, reliability, and a commitment to exceeding client expectations with every frame, ensuring each image tells a compelling story and meets the highest standards of quality.
