What to Expect as a Second Shooter for Skipperdoodlefritz Photography
Thank you for your interest in working with Skipperdoodlefritz Photography! Here’s everything you need to know about what to expect as a second shooter at horse shows with me.
Pay
-
Second shooters typically earn between $200-$400 per day, depending on the number of entries at the show.
-
If you have personal rates you'd like to honor, please discuss them with me first so I can work things out accordingly.
How the Work Day Goes
-
I will provide you with a memory card to use for the day. You’ll shoot all of your photos on this card.
-
You will be assigned a designated spot to cover for the entire day.
-
At the end of the weekend, all images will be handed over to me.
-
If you have a dual-slot camera, you are welcome to double shoot on your own card, or I can provide you with your favorite shots for your portfolio.
Travel, Food, and Expenses
-
Travel, gas, and lodging are covered for photographers working with me.
-
I try my best to provide food and water throughout the day. If I am unable to do so, I will reimburse any food and drink expenses incurred during the weekend.
-
Long days in the sun are common, so I highly recommend bringing:
-
A chair for sitting during downtime.
-
Plenty of water and snacks.
-
Something to do during slow periods.
-
Expectations & Workload
-
I understand that mistakes happen and shots may be missed. Do not stress—it is my responsibility as the business owner to create a sellable product.
-
Your role is to provide additional photos to supplement my work, not to carry the bulk of the workload.
-
You are welcome to share the photos you take on social media! I encourage you to showcase your work.
