Job Description
I am looking for a gaffer available Thursday 9/24 who can help out with a 2 hour production. The rate is $600 all up, no additional budget is available for transportation. The event being covered is 2 hours, you will be required to get there early however so expect 3 hours of total commitment. While the shoot is for event photography, they want more than the typical event photography look. They want to create areas within the event that have more dynamic lighting. It will be your job (along with a grip hire) light those areas so that when people are interacting within during the event, any photos taken will reflect the look you create. More detail will be provided if you are chosen for the project, including image examples for the type of lighting they want, as well as a list of gear that'll be on hand. Please provide samples of your work to be considered for this production. Thank you
