We can't pay you, but we can offer you exposure to the coolest art hotel and cultural incubator in the west end of the city, great references, an expanded portfolio, office experience, a relaxed work environment and the chance to work with a wicked team.

You love photography (so do we). You are someone who is willing to attend at least one of our cultural events a week. You are also a very social savvy person and are personable while shooting. Please know how to edit your photos and make them pretty in photoshop (or a related program). Please also know how to use Flickr. You will come in once a week for a 4 hour event and spend approximately 4 hours uploading and editing photos from home.

We can publish your photos to our websites, social media accounts and use them for any promotional material.
You will get photo credit, an expanded event photography portfolio, great references and the fabulous feeling of being involved in the arts and music scene in the west end. If you want, we can make you a fancy name tag so people know you are an 'official' Gladstone photographer. You can even wear it when you're not working. Please email with some previous work or a link to your web portfolio.

We are open and try to accommodate people with full time jobs.
