Their duties can include setting up lighting and equipment, organizing props, assisting with model positioning, and handling administrative tasks such as scheduling and file management.

This role is an excellent entry point for those interested in pursuing a career in photography.

What does a photographer assistant do?

A photographer assistant supports a professional photographer during the shooting and editing process. The specific job duties may vary, depending on the type of photographer you work for and the size and type of the organization. In general, your responsibilities as a photographer assistant include organizing, maintaining, and sometimes transporting equipment, such as lighting and cameras. You also need to ensure that everything the photographer needs for the photo shoot is easily accessible. For studio shoots or elaborate outdoor shoots, you may be responsible for setting up special lighting and sets. After a shoot, you may assist in editing the photos using digital editing software. Once the images have been adjusted, you need to organize the portfolios, send proofs to clients for approval, or deliver prints. Travel may be required for this job.

Familiarity with photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, as well as studio equipment, is commonly required. Organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate and collaborate effectively with photographers and clients are highly valued. These skills ensure efficient shoot operations, high-quality results, and a positive working environment on set.

Summary Hockey Western New York is looking to add game night editors and additional, part-time photographers to their photo team! The HWNY photo editor/photographer will be involved in aspects of the creative, media, public relations and content departments. This is a seasonal, part time position.

  • Crop and tone select images for in-game social media use, as needed
  • Help coordinate in game needs between the photo team and social media team.
  • Creatively handle studio portraits, on-location events, concerts, press conferences, food, and venue photography.
  • Create high-end still photography for the Buffalo Sabres and Bandits.
  • Produce compelling content on a deadline.
  • Provide production assistance to HWNY Media & Content staff as needed.
Minimum Qualifications for the Position:
  • Must be proficient in Adobe Creative Suite and Photo Mechanic
  • Strong understanding of metadata and digital asset management
  • Experience with Getty style captioning
  • Demonstrated ability for visual story telling
  • Ability to work with all members of the photo team to ensure the highest quality output
  • Ability to adapt in an ever-changing environment
  • Ability to work under tight deadlines and manage multiple assignments
  • Ability to work under pressure with high expectations
  • Ability to work non-traditional hours including nights, and weekends as needed
  • Strong understanding of on camera and off camera lighting
Critical Competencies
  • Adaptable and flexible
  • Detail oriented
  • Collaborative and team focused
  • Manage multiple deadlines effectively
  • Understanding of efficient photography workflows.
Compensation This role pays between $35.00 to $50.00 an hour. NOTE: Wages will be determined based on factors such as candidate experience, qualifications, skill set and internal equity. Work Environment & Physical Demands. This role operates in both an office setting and in a live events setting. Live event coverage does consist of being around loud stadium noises and crowds.
