Job Description

Yale Hospitality is seeking a current Yale student with advanced digital photography skills to support the marketing team. Applicants must be able to capture Yale Hospitality events, which sometimes require working different hours than a typical desk job. As it pertains to this role, some months of the year may be busier than others, so this role is best suited for an individual able to work independently when other team members may be at capacity in their areas. Many of the projects are event photography, but styled shoots (plated food or professional portraits) are also part of the job. A departmental DSLR is available for responsible use. Sometimes video coverage is needed. 

 

 

Attend Yale Hospitality events to capture photos and sometimes video footage as well 

Photograph dining/ cooking scenes, events, and various projects with the primary end goal of digital use (website, social media, digital displays, etc.)  

Balance the ability to follow specific shot list requirements and creative direction, while leveraging your creative style to capture innovative and engaging content to tell the full story 

Edit photographs as needed to enhance natural beauty of subjects and scenes 

Share final/ edited photographs in a timely manner, accessible by team members for review and download or feedback 

 

Job Requirements

Required: please submit a portfolio with your application 

Willingness to collaborate with other Yale Hospitality employees and event attendees 

Demonstrated experience with digital photography, editing, using a DSLR camera, optimizing use of cell phone camera (when needed), photo editing skills 

Ability to photograph in low light settings where some movement is taking place 

Aptitude for photojournalism; able to illustrate a story (start, middle, end) and evoke feeling through photos 

Videography skills  

Ability to manage multiple projects within established timelines and standards 

Reliability; candidate should be an organized individual that execute event coverage when mutually agreed (as many moving parts go into working with food and in hospitality; this role is an important ingredient in that recipe)  

Ability to work within deadlines and problem solve 

Comfortability in working in sometimes densely populated or loud environments (when photographing events) 

Ability to work in and share files via collaboration tools such as Google Drive and SharePoint 

Familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite (Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects) a plus
