About The Dream Opportunity:

We are a global nonprofit that connects underprivileged and low-income students to corporate career pathways. Through partnerships with J.P. Morgan Chase, Amazon, Warner Bros. Discovery, and more, we deliver life-changing career exposure and opportunities.

Role Overview:

We are seeking a Freelance Photographer/Videographer to join our creative team on a per-event basis. This role combines hands-on production setup, live content capture (photo and video), and basic A/V support at live events.

If you’re highly adaptable, technically savvy, have experience in A/V as well as videography, and are passionate about capturing dynamic, meaningful content in real-world environments, we want to hear from you.

Primary Responsibilities:

  • On-Site Event Execution
    • Travel within your city/region to live events held at schools, corporate offices, convention centers, or other venues.
    • Set up and break down basic A/V equipment, including:
      • Wireless speakers (for music)
      • iPads (for music and light control)
      • Light stands and lights
      • Laptops for presentations and video playback
      • Wireless microphones
      • Walkie-talkies and radios
      • WiFi hotspot devices
      • Coordinate with external A/V technicians (when available) to ensure smooth A/V setup and execution.
  • Content Capture
    • Capture high-quality photo and video footage throughout the event following a provided creative brief and shot list.
    • Conduct brief testimonials and interviews with students, clients, and corporate partners using pre-prepared questions.
  • Post-Event Media Management
    • Upload all raw photo and video files to our Dropbox/server immediately after each event.
    • No editing or retouching required.
  • Role Expectations
    • Event days are typically 8 to 12 hours long, but may occasionally run longer depending on production needs.
    • Early start times are common — anywhere from 5:00 AM to 8:00 AM depending on the event schedule.
    • You must be comfortable working full days while remaining fully attentive, proactive, and responsible for the entire duration.
    • Professionalism, focus, and teamwork are essential from pre-event setup through post-event breakdown.

Qualifications:

  • Exceptional ability to intuitively capture impactful photo and video content in real-time.
  • Proficiency in operating DSLR or mirrorless cameras, basic lighting setups, microphones, and stabilizers.
  • Familiarity with moderate A/V systems and troubleshooting (wireless audio, speakers, hotspots, presentation tech, computers, basic audio board).
  • Highly organized, reliable, and able to work independently in dynamic, fast-paced environments.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills to coordinate with event leads and external partners.
  • Ability to lift, transport, and set up production equipment safely.
  • Valid driver's license required — must be comfortable driving large SUVs (such as a Chevy Suburban) when transporting production equipment (vehicles will be pre-rented by The Dream Opportunity).
  • Valid passport required — occasional domestic and/or international travel may be requested.
  • Ability to travel by air within the region, primarily between major West Coast cities including Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas, and others as needed.
  • Owning a professional DSLR or video camera is a plus, but not required.

Compensation:

  • Daily Rate: $300–$600 USD per event, depending on skill level and experience.

How to Apply:

Please submit:

  • Your resume/CV.
  • A portfolio or samples of live event footage and/or photography work.
