Shipboard Photographer


We are looking for individuals with photography experience and outgoing personality to work as photographers on board our Ships. Professional, customer-oriented attitude and willingness to learn is key. Great opportunity to travel and meet people from around the world.

Responsibilities include:
Shooting, processing and selling digital photography on board. These include, but are not limited to, guest pictures of embarkation, portraits, gangways at the ports of call, dining room, pool/deck, and weddings.

Selling retail items such as cameras, batteries, digital media, folios, albums, etc.
The shipboard photographer reports directly to the Photo Manager and must adhere to all shipboard rules and regulations, including dress code. This is an 8-month on, 8-week off, onboard position for which a valid passport is necessary. We are also hiring for the shorter Alaska season of May through September. We will provide your airfare; all necessary equipment such as cameras, lenses, flashes, media cards, tripods, flash meter; and a full set of uniforms. Due to the limited space onboard, it is necessary to share a cabin with someone of the same gender. Phone and Internet communication to shore side is available for a nominal fee. Please note some web sites are restricted due to limitations in satellite communications bandwidth.
Cruise Ship photography is all about photographing people, THE GUESTS, and selling the treasured memories of their cruise. The team, under the guidance of a Photo Manager, is responsible for the entire onboard business, from photography through processing and finally the sales of the finished photographs. You must be sociable and enjoy working with people. It is hard work and you probably won't need to pack your sun block for the first few cruises...!
We operate with different numbers of team members on each ship, from one person per ship to 13 people per ship. The most senior photographer is the Photo Manager. Team positions include Junior Photographer, Senior Photographer, Assistant Manager, Sales and Assistant Manager, Production, among others. You will most likely embark as a Junior Photographer or Trainee and undergo the IMAGE training and assessment program to move up the ranks.
Typical onboard events photographed include meeting the Captain at his cocktail party, in the Dining Room during dinner, costume shoots where typically a Junior Photographer dresses up, on the gangway as passengers proceed ashore and even in port on the shore excursions. Portrait photography is a major part of our service, however, our photographers are not normally expected to shoot portraits until they are promoted to a more senior position.
All photographs are processed the same day in our onboard photo lab and the finished prints are displayed for sale in a purpose-designed gallery. The more senior photographers take care of the printing and processing. Selling the finished prints and ancillary products is a major part of the Junior Photographer's duties.

As is the case with comparable junior positions, there will be a number of daily menial tasks to complete. You must be prepared to work long hours and understand that on a very busy ship, you will have little time off. On all ships you are required to be available for duty seven days a week. It is definitely not a 9-5 job!
