About Picture Pros
Picture Pros Photography photographs youth athletes at tournaments across the country while creating a positive experience for players, coaches, and families.
We’re expanding our Florida recruiting area and looking for dependable, energetic people who enjoy photography, youth sports, travel, and working with customers.
This role combines photography, customer service, sales, travel, and event operations.
Success comes from taking quality photographs, communicating confidently with athletes and families, staying organized during busy tournaments, and helping customers choose photo products they’ll enjoy for years to come.
Photography or sales experience is helpful, but reliability, communication, coachability, and a strong work ethic are equally important.
Compensation
This is a performance-based 1099 independent contractor opportunity and is not a traditional hourly position.
For qualifying full events, contractors receive either their earned commission or an applicable minimum event protection amount of $375, whichever is greater, subject to company policies and event requirements.
Compensation can increase with photography production, customer engagement, sales performance, and assigned event responsibilities.
Actual earnings vary based on event size, responsibilities, production, sales results, and individual performance.
Complete compensation details, commission structure, payment procedures, event protection policies, and performance expectations are reviewed with qualified candidates before they accept their first event assignment.
