What are the responsibilities and job description for the Videographers and Photographers position at Same Day Productions?
HIRING ASAP for either videographers or photographers. Please indicate which position you are applying for along with any samples of your work.
Seeking photographers and videographers for live dance competitions and events for the currently running 2025 season. Same Day Productions provides photo and video for dance competitions and many other events throughout the year using a network of contractors just like you. Room, travel and incidentals are always covered, plus you’ll get the opportunity to work and learn alongside your peers from other parts of the United States.
Ideal candidate will have action shooting experience, whether that's in dance, theater, gymnastics, or sports; competition dance experience is a plus!
While this position is mostly just photo and filming work, it does involve setup and breakdown of gear provided from us at the events, including but not limited to a sales station, as well as some uploading post event. No extra post processing work is required.
Operation during the event involves taking pictures or video from a stationary position, listening, annotating & downloading of photos via an announced number system on a Windows laptop. As such, it is important to be present, clearly hear routine numbers, annotate them on the laptop, and always continue to listen in on the event for start and stop cues.
These events are often all day, fast paced, with long hours and appropriate breaks. You have the option to operate the camera as you wish to alleviate the time.
Photographers: An SLR camera compatible with the brand’s tethering software is mandatory, as is a zoom lens with a wide reach (e.g. 70-200), and all-day power.
