Director of Photography Apprenticeship

TIMELINE TO FILL POSITION IS ON THE FAQ PAGE.

Are you ready to take your shooting to the next level? Go To Team is offering a unique opportunity to Chief Photographers and local TV Cameramen. This position is designed for photographers that want to gain enough experience to shoot, run audio, and light at the highest level. We have successfully run this federally accredited apprenticeship for seven years and five of our former apprentices are now full-time Directors of Photography for Go To Team.

This position will be based in Charlotte, NC and work daily with our Director of Photography, Skip Clark (former apprentice) on shows like NASCAR on FOX, Turner Sports (TNT), Speed Channel, NFL Films, HBO Sports, ABC News, NBC News and America’s Most Wanted. You will be running audio, lighting, producing, and learning every aspect of high-end video production. We hope to move you into a full-time Director of Photography position for one of our other markets.

Although during a typical week you will work 4 ten hour days, overtime is a sure thing. Experience in audio, grip work, and management are a plus. However, a solid reel and hard working attitude are key. We often work odd hours on short notice and international travel may be required.

Requirements: Passport, Vehicle, Strong Desire to be the Best.
Salary: $28,500 (plus, OT)
Term: 1 Year Contract

This is not an entry level position. Federal Apprenticeship guidelines require at least a college degree or 2 years of work related experience. It is designed for very talented photogs that want to shoot at their best.
