Summary
Turas Photo Ltd is looking for an enthusiastic Trainee Photographer to join our small, friendly team as our portfolio of school, nursery and sports-photography work continues to grow.
We photograph children in schools and nurseries, as well as sports teams, across Aberdeenshire, Moray, the City of Aberdeen and the Highlands. This is a varied, active role, with a different location and group of people to photograph most days.
More than anything, we are looking for someone warm, friendly and naturally engaging; someone who can help children of all ages feel comfortable, relaxed and confident in front of the camera, creating genuine smiles and natural photographs. You will also need to communicate clearly and professionally with teachers, school office staff, parents and other adults throughout the day.
You will initially work as an Assistant Photographer, shadowing and supporting more experienced members of the team. As your skills, confidence and understanding of our approach develop, you will be trained to take on more responsibility and work independently.
Previous professional photography experience is helpful, but a formal photography qualification is not required. Full training, equipment and support will be provided. A good practical understanding of photography and a genuine interest in developing your skills are important.
What you’ll do
• Initially assist and shadow experienced photographers at schools, nurseries and sports venues
• Help children feel relaxed, included and comfortable in front of the camera
• Create a positive, fun and well-organised photography experience
• Communicate professionally with school and nursery staff throughout each visit
• Set up, use and safely pack away photography equipment
• Develop the skills and confidence to photograph independently
• Work independently at locations once trained, while remaining part of a supportive small team
• Represent Turas Photo professionally and reliably at all times
