Business Development Representatives

You are opening meaningful conversations with organizations that need what TJS Photography does, and doing it in a way that reflects who we are as a creative firm.Meaning that you also need to understand, at least at a basic level, the nature of visual storytelling. A strong BDR communicates this in every outreach: not 'we take photos' but 'we help you preserve your impact, document your mission, and give your organization content that works for you long after the event ends.
