Join the Team
Position: Photographer / Team Member
Paul Green Photography is seeking enthusiastic and skilled photographers to join our team and bring our studio experience to clients at various events. We specialize in intimate weddings, lifestyle and corporate event photography, serving Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and anywhere in between.
About Us:
We deliver a portable studio experience to guests at diverse events, setting up our equipment—including strobes, stands, backdrops, cameras, and laptops—to create a pop-up studio across various locations. Our distinctive and recognizable photos are a testament to our passionate and talented photographers. We pride ourselves on fostering a team of skilled portrait photographers who excel at capturing dynamic images and leaving a lasting positive impact.
Our Commitment to Growth:
We believe in constant learning and growth. Our leadership team provides training sessions, workshops, and constructive feedback to help you refine your skills and become an even stronger photographer.
Role Overview:
This is a gig-based role focused on photography, Lightroom editing, and interacting with guests. It requires technical skill, quick thinking, and a friendly personality to ensure an outstanding client experience.
What This Role Is Not:
This is not a full-time position but rather a gig-based role. It is not suitable for individuals with minimal photography experience. While we provide comprehensive training and support, the pace at which we operate and expect growth may not be suitable for someone with less than one year of recent shooting experience.
Key Responsibilities:
- Engage authentically with guests while capturing their photographs on-site.
- Efficiently utilize Lightroom for on-site editing.
- Maintain a friendly and composed demeanour during lively and sometimes demanding events, such as weddings.
- Assist guests by answering questions and ensuring they have an exceptional experience.
- Set up and dismantle equipment, including computers and printers.
- Most assignments are within the specified regions, typically occurring on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday evenings.
Essential Qualifications:
- 1-2 years of experience working with Lightroom.
- 1-2 years of experience in people-focused photography, either professionally or personally.
- Strong problem-solving abilities and proficiency in troubleshooting, especially with technology.
- Effective communication skills across various platforms, including messaging apps, text, phone, email, and in-person interactions, as our business decisions often require prompt responses.
- Ability to thrive in high-pressure situations, including loud and energetic environments, and manage large groups of people.
- Availability to commit to at least two gigs per month, with a preference for more.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience in studio and portrait photography.
- Background in client-facing roles, such as retail, sales, or customer service.
- Proactive approach to physical health, as the role involves handling substantial equipment.
