Job Description

Company Photographer

Art of Life Photography | Chamblee, GA | Full-time, in studio and on location

The short version

We're hiring a full-time photographer (32 to 40+ hours per week) to shoot a wide range of sessions: seniors, underclass and faculty portraits, candid school events, sporting events, and sportraits. You'll join a team that takes pride in beautiful images and in taking good care of the families and schools we serve.

Professional photography experience and strong technical skills are expected. We'll train you on our style, lighting setups, and shoot-specific workflows.

This role offers a solid base salary and full benefits.

Who we are

Art of Life Photography has been making art from this beautiful thing called life for over 21 years. From our studio in Chamblee, we photograph high school seniors and partner with more than 20 schools across Metro Atlanta, creating artistic, expressive images of students. Our team is creative, communicative, and committed to our goals. We work hard, we support each other, and we like to laugh along the way.

What we expect of everyone

Care. Value and honor your part of the process.

Believe in team. We all do our part and support each other.

Take care of people, always.

Keep learning, growing, and trying new ideas.

You might see yourself here if

You notice the details other people miss. You believe anything worth doing is worth doing right. You're just as comfortable making a nervous senior laugh as you are keeping a line of 300 students moving on picture day. You raise your hand for new challenges and adapt easily when plans change.
