Elly Mac Photos has now launched a mentoring program that gives aspiring photographers the benefit of real wedding experience and portfolio development, to gain experience at real weddings through Elly Mac Photos, sign up for a mentoring program here
**************************************************************************************************************
We are sometimes on the hunt for experienced Associate Photographers to shoot on behalf of Elly Mac Photos or as second shooters in the United Kingdom and Australia. I am are after a certain type of passion, personality, style and flare. We only work with inspired and creative wedding photographers who are passionate.
An understanding of the relationship between shutter speed, film speed and aperture is a must, if your portfolio demonstrates the inspired flare we are after or the potential, the first wedding you shoot with Elly Mac Photos will be on a Nikon F80, yes 35mm film camera set to manual.
Our current Associate Shooters are Hannah-May and Hajley
To be considered for an Associate Photographers role, please note the following:
♥ You must have experience as a wedding photographer
♥ Have a full frame camera (Nikon or Canon, no other brands allowed)
♥ Have public liability and kit insurance (Must be able to provide evidence of such)
♥ Be willing to work as a sub contractor ( you are responsible for your own tax affairs)
♥ Be paid monthly
♥ The copyright of the images remain with Elly Mac Photos, you will not be permitted to use them in your own portfolio (no facebook, no twitter)
♥ You will be responsible for your own travel costs.
♥ Have a sense of humour and not take yourself to seriously (and did I mention be absolutely nuts about photography)
I might think of some other things but I will update this as I do. We really are after a specific type of wedding photographer, so if you think you have what it takes, drop me an email and send me a link to your website.
Who owns the copyright on photographs?
Under law, it is the photographer who will own copyright on any photos he/she has taken, with the following exceptions:
- If the photographer is an employee of the company the photos are taken for, or is an employee of a company instructed to take the photos, the photographer will be acting on behalf of his/her employer, and the company the photographer works for will own the copyright.
- If there is an agreement that assigns copyright to another party.
