PHOTOGRAPHY AMBASSADORS
Interested in joining a select team of freelance photographers and photo stylists?
Our Photography Ambassadors range in both skill level and focus, from hobbyists to professionals to students. There is no set time commitment, but we do ask for regular photo contributions in order to continue access to ambassador perks. So…what are the perks?
- Special discount at Common Deer in-store and Commondeer.com
- Access to inventory on loan for personal photoshoots
- Access to vintage prop storage on loan
- Professional growth through crediting, exposure, and portfolio development
- For certain photo requests, trades and compensation will be available
As we grow and get to the next step, so will our photography budget. Since we were approached by so many photographers, we developed this program in order to give those looking for more experience or exposure, the structure to do so. When our photography budget does allow for paid shoots, those that have been working with us will be right where they need to be!
Send an email to info@commondeer.com with what you are looking to do, samples of your work, and why you'd like to work with us. Please include the subject line: Photo Ambassador.
