Paid on delivery

I’m lining up several group event shoots and want a small team of photographers who genuinely enjoy event photography and can deliver clean, flattering portraits. Each assignment is studio-based: you’ll walk into a prepared space, set up basic lighting/backdrops, capture a maximum of 25 guests, grab one extra frame of the person who booked (showing their email from their phone screen), after all assigned guest photos are complete, if any gear was moved out every thing back to where they belong. What I’m after • Primary focus: portraits that look polished but natural. • Level: intermediate—newer shooters are welcome if you’re confident with camera settings, on-site direction, and simple Lightroom/Photoshop colour tweaks or LUT filters. • Output: some events need quick, light colour grading; others just require well-exposed RAWs. Either way, you’ll deliver finished files directly to guests and ensure everyone gets their shots. • Turnaround: within 48 hours of the event. Typical flow 1. Arrive 30 minutes early, run a test shot, and confirm the backdrop/lighting. 2. Photograph individual or small-group portraits until all guests are covered. 3. Capture the “email & booker” proof image. 4. Pack gear and reset the studio. 5. Transfer images, apply the agreed-upon edits, and send download links to guests. Pay can reach $2,500 per event depending on scale and feedback. If you’re reliable, friendly, and can keep portraits consistent under changing studio setups, I’d love to see your portfolio and hear how soon you’re available. •Photographers are expected to bring their own cameras. •Photographers are expected to follow studio rules and guidelines (damages can result in a minimum fee of $400) •Photographers are expected to be kind towards guest and all staff members. Photographers will need to cover their own travel expenses, so I’m looking for photographers based in the Brooklyn-Manhattan area.

Hello, I’d be happy to join your event photography team and provide polished, natural portraits with a consistent look across each studio setup. I’m comfortable working efficiently with individual guests and small groups, directing people into flattering poses, checking exposure/focus, and maintaining consistent framing and lighting throughout the session. I can arrive early for setup and test shots, follow studio procedures carefully, capture the required booker/email proof image, and make sure the space is fully reset afterward. I can also handle basic Lightroom/Photoshop adjustments or deliver clean RAW files depending on the event requirements. I understand the importance of being friendly and professional with guests while keeping the workflow moving. I can meet the 48-hour turnaround and would be interested in ongoing assignments. I’d be glad to share my photography work and discuss availability, event locations, and rates. Best regards,

Building a small team of event photographers who *actually enjoy* what they do — that's exactly the kind of crew I've spent 20+ years assembling at C&I Studios across our LA, South Florida, and New York locations. Group event shoots require photographers who read a room naturally, direct people without making it awkward, and deliver consistent, polished portraits across a full shoot day — that's our bread and butter. I'd love to talk through your lineup of events and how we can staff them the right way.
