PHOTOGRAPHER ASSISTANT

I am looking for a motivated photography/diving assistant that has both artistic skills in retouching and lighting, and also passion and experience in diving. I cannot offer a big paycheck, but an amazing experience working on photography projects and underwater scenes for films in the tropical paradise of Cebu. You should have diving experience (rescue diver/instructor level would be a plus), and in exchange for a 2 year commitment I would also fund you getting additional certifications.

On the technical site, you should be familiar with photo retouching and have an excellent eye for composition and selection of photos (my photoshoots frequently yield 1000+ photos, and I would want to be able to trust an assistant to pick the best ones).

You should also be a boat person (familiar/willing to work on boats, and not get easily seasick). Any photography/cinematography experience is a plus!!

In your spare time, you will be able to attend classes at the International Academy of Film and Television, learn editing/cinematography. Also, if you are a model and/or actor, you will be able to build your reel on short films and commercial film projects.

Please send your application to: assistant-search@mickgleissner.com



Here is a little documentary about my underwater photography (unfortunately it is not 100% finished), but it gives you an idea about our environment and the challenges here:
