Freelance Photographer

About Profound

Profound is a marketplace where clients book independent professionals, such as photoraphers, for paid sessions across many categories. Experts build trust through strong profiles—especially clear profile photos and a credible image gallery, so quality photography directly supports how they show up to clients.

What you’ll do

Shoot professional headshots and gallery-style stills suited for online professional profiles (clean, well-lit, approachable, accurate representation of the person).
Coordinate scheduling with subjects and arrive prepared with a practical shot list for marketplace use.
Edit and deliver agreed file formats within the turnaround in your contract.
Communicate professionally and represent Profound’s standards for trust and clarity in visual presentation.

What we’re looking for

A portfolio demonstrating portraits / people photography and consistent results across lighting conditions.
Your own equipment appropriate for on-location or small-studio-style shoots.
Reliability, punctuality, and experience working with non-model clients.
Comfortable working as an independent contractor and providing any standard insurance you use for client work if required.
