Job Opportunity Feb 3, 2007

[Keyser Soze]

Thats the good news. The bad is that it is for a non-profit that does not have deep pockets.


It will be at Lone Star Park on Saturday Feb 3 2007. Starts at 6 PM

What we have previously done is take a shot of each couple as they arrive and provide them with a print as they leave. Nothing fancy, just a 3.5*5. Some pics of the event for a subsequent newsletter would also be needed.

You would also have the opportunity to sell a package to any of the patrons who like thier pic.

PM me or e-mail me at dallasbear@yahoo.com

I worked five years at a "not for profit" agency.

MOTTO #1 "Just because they are not for profit, doesn't mean they don't have any money !"

[Keyser Soze]

This is not a freebie. Its a paid gig.

I have just read enough on forums to know this will not pay close to a wedding event with portraits and purchase of many prints and albums. It would be good for three to four hours of work by most standards.

You also get a free second shooter...Me...but keep your expectations low.

[CaptainTom]

Would I have to provide the means to print the photos on site, or do you have a way to do that ??

I would encourage folks to consider doing this. NFP gatherings are always fun.

[Keyser Soze]

Not necessarily. Last year a print was given at the event. Previous have been online with one free print mailed and the opportunity to order more for a fee.

Nothing is set in stone.

You would also not be required to stay for the entire duration. The last two hours or so after the dinner are just a party after the awards dinner. I will then be free to take some party pics during that portion.

Don't know this forum well enough to post a price range or if that's OK.

Are you looking to shot this with on camera flash or are strobes going to be used? I am interested in doing it just wanted to know what to expect...

[Keyser Soze]

Strobes have previously been used, but not a huge set up. I would not say it is an absolute must - just preferable.

There is a good mural that can be used a backdrop.

[ninja95]

Are the strobes provided? Do you know approximately what the job will pay?

[Keyser Soze]

No Strobes provided. From reading the sticky wedding photographers thread, the pay has been low to moderate on that scale.

[Keyser Soze]

Thanks to all who have replied and give advice.

I have found someone at this time.
