Commercial Real Estate Photographer Job Description

Contractor - hours will vary

Merrily Creative Company is a commercial real estate photography company based in Atlanta, GA.  We pride ourselves on the long-term relationships we form with our clients, achieved by providing an excellent service and great customer experience. We specialize in the multifamily industry (apartments), but also serve clients in retail, office, and other industries.

We are looking for a competent and experienced photographer to join our real estate photography team as a contractor! This is a great opportunity for a professional photographer to add an additional stream of income with the skill and equipment they already have, without any of the headache or overhead of running a photography business. MCC manages all business and operational aspects of the job, leaving you to do what you do best - shoot!

We are specifically looking for someone who is not interested in starting their own business in the industry, but is looking for an opportunity to earn additional income with the skills and equipment they already have. 

This is a contracted position, hired and paid on a project-by-project basis. We are looking to form a long-term relationship with the right candidate. The right candidate will have well-rounded knowledge and experience shooting with DSLR cameras. Real estate photography experience is preferred but not required - we can train you.

Responsibilities:

  • Photograph commercial real estate projects, ranging from apartment communities to Air BnBs to office and retail complexes

  • Communicate with MCC personnel regarding scheduling and availability

  • Execute your work in a professional and courteous manner at all times

  • If necessary, adapt shooting style to that outlined by MCC

  • Real estate photography experience preferred but not required - we can train you

  • No editing necessary

  • Reliability for scheduling will be imperative. We will do our best to schedule shoots at least two weeks in advance

Requirements:

  • At least one full year as a professional photographer

  • High-level operational knowledge and experience shooting with a DSLR camera

  • Candidate MUST have their own equipment:

    • Tripod

    • DSLR camera (full-frame preferred, Canon preferred)

    • Wide-angle lens of at least 20mm (NOT fisheye)

    • Additional lens with aperture of at least 2.8 and focal length between 50-70mm

  • Ability to photograph projects during normal weekday hours (M-F 9-5) in the Metro-Atlanta area

  • Must have reliable self-transportation

This position will come with an NDA and non-compete agreement. Again, we are looking for someone who would like to be a part of our team for the long-term, not someone who is looking to learn about the CRE Photography industry and start their own business with the experience. Please note that our scheduling is irregular - our contractors may have anywhere from 1-6 shoots per month.
