Equine Photography Session Assistants

Horse photography session assistants are specifically available for assisting during horse photography sessions. These individuals are knowledgeable about horses and enjoy being around them.

Additionally, you must have some flexibility in your schedule as we are at the whim of the weather when shooting outdoors. This is a paid position.

The majority of travel that involves a need for assistance is in the following areas:

• East Tennessee, such as Chattanooga or Knoxville
• North Georgia, such as Rome, Dalton, Ringgold
• North Alabama, such as Huntsville, Toney, and Ider

Business Interns

Interested in learning the business side of photography? Then a Marketing and Business Internship might be a good fit for you!

Marketing and Business Interns help with the flip side of the business – all the things that are done when we aren’t out shooting. In a photography business, approximately 80% is spent on business while 20% of your time is spent on shooting. So there is always plenty to do.

This is a part-time paid position. However, hours would vary depending on what projects are currently on-going.

This position can be based in the Chattanooga, TN area or remotely if you have a computer and good-quality internet access.
