Seeking Budding Photojournalist Looking To Sharpen Chops

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.
