The City of Jamestown is looking to hire a documentary photographer or photojournalist to work with our street team. Experience in realistic vehicular photography is a must.
Hire will be working in an interactive environment, interfacing with citizens and their cars.
Specific requirements for the position are listed below:
- Extensive experience identifying when a traffic meter has expired, preferably first-hand.
- Proficiency in lighting techniques to maximize numerical clarity.
- Ability to interact diplomatically with unwitting clients, who may be quite irate as they credit you with their financial exchanges with the City.
- Sound judgment and strong creative storytelling instinct to reward both realistic stories and highly original yarns with reduced fines.
General:
- Will be working in various photography formats (daytime, nighttime, smartphone, and point-and-shoot).
- Must work well under pressure from deadlines (we require 10 tickets a day) and have the ability to multitask (photography, annotation, civil discourse, etc).
- Must be able to spend long hours on feet, walking, standing, and squatting for highest-fidelity journalism.
- Must drive minuscule, doorless, three-wheeled vehicles.
Job Type: Full-Time.
