PHOTOGRAPHER OPPORTUNITY

Description:

Keen photographer needed for the annual Arches Dance Performance.

This is an exciting opportunity for a photographer who would like to develop their portfolio to be the head photographer (or a group to work together) at the Arches Dance Performance on 29th March 2012. The venue is at the Octagon, which is usually full to capacity, with 800 performers from local schools and dance groups and 400 spectators enjoying the dancing. The opportunity will be an ideal challenge for those studying photography and would like to expand their portfolio, as the venue is dark, with an array of coloured lights and fast moving action of the performers. Photos will then be used by the Arches School Sport Partnership for future promotional materials and sent to schools for their own use. 

Commitment:

1 day – 29th March 2012 at the Octagon Centre, Sheffield

There are two performance, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. 1 student can cover the whole event or a group of students can cover across both events:

Afternoon performance: 12pm-2.30pm

Evening performance: 5.30pm – 8.15pm

Opportunity to arrive earlier for both to see set up of hall and gauge lighting etc.

Skills Required:

Passion for photography and ability to take interesting pictures. Previous experience in sports type photography is not needed, as experience can be gained during the placement. See attachments for examples of previous years photography.

Use of own equipment is essential, as the Arches does not own any photographic equipment.

CRB Requirements:

Volunteers will be required to complete an Arches CRB.

Deadline

The deadline for applying for this role is Monday 5th March 2012.

If you would like to apply for this opportunity please contact k.weston@shu.ac.uk or ring 01142255003. Alternatively you can drop in to talk to a member of staff in the Activities Pod, The HUBS.
