Job description

Department: Marketing & Communications

Location: La Sierra University Campus | Marketing Department

Hours: up to 20 hours per week

Position Overview

La Sierra University is looking for a student Photographer who can capture the authentic pulse of our campus life. This role is not about posed studio shots. It is about capturing candid, diverse student experiences that show what the La Sierra community is like. You will be one of the visual storytellers for social media, ensuring every image helps a prospective student imagine their future here.

Key Responsibilities

  • Capture real-time, high-quality photography at campus events, athletics, and spiritual life gatherings.
  • Schedule and execute batch photo shoots for various segments (Business, Biology, Theology, and Arts).
  • Ensure photography represents a diverse range of student personalities, cultures, and academic programs.
  • Provide real-time photo coverage for major university events, which may include evenings and weekends.
  • Edit photos for clarity and vibrancy while maintaining an authentic (non-over-processed) look.

Weekly Expectations

Time Commitment

  • Up to 20 hours per week
  • Flexible scheduling around classes
  • Occasional nights and weekends required

Content Output

Content output may differ depending on the University's schedule each week.

  • Minimum: 15-20 photos per session
  • Expected: 30-50 photos per session

Content should be fully edited, approved, and ready for publishing.

Qualifications

  • Current La Sierra University student.
  • Portfolio of digital photography.
  • Proficiency in editing tools (Adobe Creative Suite, Affinity, etc).
  • Comfortable directing peers and faculty for authentic candid moments.
  • Experience with mobile photography and/or DSLR/Mirrorless systems.
  • Ability to manage projects from concept to completion.
  • Training will be provided.

What You'll Gain From This Role

  • Visual Storytelling: Develop an eye for capturing authentic, high-impact moments that define the campus experience. Learn to cover a diverse range of subjects.
  • Technical Skills: Hands-on experience with industry-standard camera systems, lenses, and lighting equipment. Master manual exposure, diverse lighting environments, and post-production workflows.
  • Client Management & Asset Delivery: Learn to manage event workflows and deliver high-quality, edits with deadlines. Gain experience directing subjects, work from formal shot lists, and collaborate with social media teams for publishing.

Why This Role Matters

Social media is often one of the first forms of contact prospective families have with the University. Your work will play a key role in shaping how students and families understand and connect with La Sierra University.
