PAID WORK FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS AND VIDEOGRAPHERS

Are you a photographer or videographer? Do you want to be part of a team that ensures you are paid a competitive rate, values your work and will support your existing experience while providing opportunities to expand your skills? Even if you only consider yourself a hobbyist, if you have the eye for the job and are willing to learn, we want to hear from you! 

Founded in 2012 as a small creative group, and officially launched as a business in 2014, Lightbox remains a steadfast creative agency upon which St Andrews can rely to capture any event. As the academic year draws to a close and we say goodbye to the graduating members of our team, Lightbox is looking for new creative talent to join the collective. Great opportunities are available for the right candidates - our work ranges from photography for local businesses, sports matches for the Athletic Union and of course, photography of the numerous balls and social events both in and outwith the Student Union. 

PLEASE NOTE that Lightbox contractors engage in work in a SELF EMPLOYED capacity. If you are on a Tier 4 VISA, this prohibits you from earning money for self employed work and you risk having your VISA revoked if found to be in breach of these rules. We are still accepting applications from Tier 4 holders if you are interested in developing your portfolio and gaining experience, but we cannot, under any circumstances, pay you for any events you attend, and there will still be an expectation of you to take an active role in the team if you are successful in your application.

The first stage of the application process will be a questionnaire and portfolio submission (through the link below). Candidates accepted after the portfolio stage will then undergo an editing evaluation. The final shortlisted candidates will then be interviewed. New members will be able to start work from September. Work is allocated on a case by case basis by the Partners of the business. Members are encouraged to shadow new types of events alongside experienced team members. There will be an expectation of members to take an active role in the team, and once confident, pick up multiple shifts per semester. Members are encouraged to shadow older members to gain experience of a range of event photography. 

All formalities aside, if you're at all interested, we want to hear from you! 

Please apply using the form: https://forms.gle/LSASnfnU1A6CHqwS7

Questions are encouraged - please direct any to cd246@st-andrews.ac.uk. Applications will close August 7th - successful applicants will need to be available for an online interview week beginning 15th August 2022.
