Roaming Photographer

What you’ll do

• Make the rounds, invite groups, pose them quickly, shoot with on-camera or off-camera flash.
• Deliver as you go. Guests get their photos on their phone before the night ends.
• Read the room: when to shoot, when to step back, when to disappear.
• Dress like a guest. Weddings are black tie unless told otherwise. For guys: velvet jacket, white shirt, bow tie, black dress shoes, and properly fitting clothes.
• Represent Mammoth on site. If a guest asks, you freelance, and this kind of work runs through Mammoth.
• Set up early and ready to go? If other event staff are still getting last-minute things done, ask if you can help. We always go out of our way to help when we have time.

Who you are

• Already in motion: actively shooting and doing your thing. We help you get better and learn our signature style.
• Great with people. You approach strangers with good energy and they like you for it.
• Confident with flash and camera settings. Clean, consistent photos, no editing needed.
• Experienced. You’ve done this before at real events.

What it pays

• $400 for 3 hours of shooting time.
• Driving to events: $25/hr plus fuel. Overnights: lodging booked for you, meals reimbursed.
• Longer nights quoted per event. Agreed in writing before every event.
