Their ages range, but more often than not fall into the 40-60 year old category. They come from countless countries in the world, but are largest markets are Australians, then American and British. The one thing that all of our guests share is a passion for photography.

  • You must be currently working as a professional photographer.
  • Be able to work flexible hours including last-minute bookings (never less than 24h notice)
  • 2 years of professional experience or a degree with a photography focus
  • Have a professional website

  • Outgoing and friendly personality
  • Have a tax code and be able to work as a freelance photographer under your country's tax code.

Please view our website to familiarise yourself with the kind of tours we offer and what our clients will expect to learn. The position is flexible and on an as-needed basis. Our booking system allows you to provide details of your schedule so that you will only have tours booked on dates you are currently free. This way we can ensure that you don't miss out on other photography jobs, whilst collecting some cash when is convenient for you.

For candidates with a strong portrait portfolio, we also offer portrait sessions, typically aimed at couples (engagement, honeymoon, anniversaries) and families, whilst they are traveling. We arrange the clients and all you have to do is turn up and shoot. Please see our Paris Portrait Session for an example of what we offer. You are generally paid seven hours, for a three-hour photo shoot.

Please supply a link to your website, a CV, and a brief statement about your photography. (please note: applications without a portfolio website will not be considered). We look forward to speaking with you
