Student Photographer - Dept of Life Science

We are looking for two talented student photographers to support our Department of Life Science Photo Day and Social. 

This is a fantastic opportunity to gain professional experience, build your portfolio, and contribute to an important event in fellow students calendars.

The successful candidates will: 

• Take professional group photographs of students attending the event, ensuring the photographs are suitable for use on LinkedIn and other social media platforms. 

• Organise and track photos so that each image is correctly labelled to the correct student group (by course or student group name). 

• Carry out basic editing to ensure images are professional and consistent in quality. 

• Allocate time after the event to complete editing and send the final images to the hiring managers (Dr Liam Bagley and Dr Lisa Coulthwaite).

There may also be opportunities to capture wider event photography, time allowing, to support marketing materials.

If you would like to use any images in your personal portfolio after the role ends, you will be responsible for following appropriate data protection processes, including gaining consent from the students photographed. 

We are looking for candidates who are: 

• Technically skilled: Confident in using DSLR or mirrorless cameras, flash lighting, white balance adjustment, and basic editing software. 

• Organised and reliable: Able to manage and track large numbers of photographs to ensure correct delivery to students. 

• Proficient in software: Familiar with photo editing tools such as Lightroom or Capture One, particularly if planning to tether the camera to a laptop during the shoot. 

• Confident communicators: Comfortable interacting with a wide range of students, helping to put them at ease and ensuring a positive photography experience. 

• Independent: You must bring and use your own photography equipment (camera, lenses, lighting, etc.). Staff are not able to book or supply other equipment for this role.
