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.

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
