Where you’ll grow

The studio is an open platform, and we want you to embrace this.  Take this as an opportunity for you to bring forward new ideas and develop new skills that will help the studio and you grow over your long-term career.

Over the initial term, we’d expect you to gradually understand the history of the studio and the existing processes.  As you do this, you’d be maintaining a high overview and identifying opportunities to streamline and instigate new ways of doing things.

In the end, running a small photography practice requires a lot of different skills (part of why we love it), and no two days are the same.  You’ll be constantly learning and working out how your strengths can best be used.

 

Working with us

Work is open to either remote, in-studio, or a combination.

This position is a casual position with an initial scope of 8-15 hours per week, which would ideally be split over two days.  As your role progresses, this may increase.

There will be an initial 2-3 month engagement with a review after this timeframe.
At this point, we’ll review the scope of engagement and adjust both our expectations for the future

The agreed rate for this role will be based on your experience within a range of $25.00 – $31.00 / hour.

You’ll invoice us bimonthly on the 10th and 25th.  If received on time, you will be paid no later than 6 days after this (15th and last day of the month)

 

Most Importantly

Latreille Photography is an equal opportunity employer. We govern ourselves on values of inclusivity, empathy, openness, authenticity, and fun.  We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. As such, we will have regular one-on-ones about the scope of the role and your experience as the Studio Assistant.

Our expectation of open and honest two-way feedback will enable us as a team to excel both internally and externally for our clients and collaborators.
