Photographer (North Salem, NY)
Do you enjoy photographing cars just as much as driving them? Are you subconsciously scouting new locations ideal for a shoot anytime you’re driving around? Wish your work involved a steady stream of awesome cars? Combine your artistic and automotive passions by joining our team.
1600Veloce is known for being the leader in the virtual collector car marketplace and pioneered the way cars are presented on virtual auction platforms such as Bring-a-Trailer. Going forward, we want more photo and video content posted to most social media platforms. Work will be a mix of artistic “beauty” shoots, static photos of cars that are clean and consistent, and technical photography that clearly communicates the mechanical and functional nuances of each vehicle.
In addition to our regular production photoshoots, you’ll be responsible for significantly increasing the amount of photo content we can post. Almost every day you’ll be photographing a different cool car. Your people skills will matter just as much as your photo skills. Your mechanical skills and attention to detail will be put to the test, as you’ll be responsible for operating and moving the cars and photographing the mechanicals.
Typically, while you’re taking photos someone else will be filming at the same time. They’ll need your support and coordination to maximize the limited time we have with each car. Bigger video projects will require you to step in and assist wherever needed. Depending on your skills, that could range from simply holding a boom mic to being a second camera operator or editing your own mini projects.
This job is local to the North Salem, NY area and occasionally requires travel around the tristate area. Although a professional photography background is always preferred, we’re open to amateur photographers who clearly have serious talent. A fantastic portfolio plus the right work ethic and attitude will go further than a long work history and poor character.
As our Automotive Photographer you will:
- Work closely with our sales and marketing teams to deliver photos that clearly and accurately portray the authenticity of each car.
- Make fast, precise edits as needed.
- Upload photos to our host with the appropriate tags, titles, and descriptions so that they can be easily found by the intake specialist at the auction house.
- Travel all over the local area and beyond to shoot in interesting, unique locations. Attendance at some weekend car events will be required.
- Ensure that our brand values are effectively communicated through photography.
- Help take our website, forum threads, social media, and stories to the next level with crisp, stunning visuals.
- Assist our video team in many ways such as setup/teardown, lighting, driving the camera car, keeping our presenters on-topic and following the script, monitoring audio levels, etc.
- Opportunities for additional video work as skills develop and are proven.
Requirements:
- Must be a huge car nerd and motorsports enthusiast.
- Professional/commercial photography experience preferred.
- Passionate about car photography, and interested in the world of video.
- Can demonstrate their experience and talent by providing a meaningful portfolio of automotive photography.
- Fluent in the fundamentals of photography: lighting, depth of field, framing, polarizers, etc.
- Able to produce both artistic and technical interpretations of the same concept.
- Great at being mobile and can produce consistent results in any given location with various lighting conditions.
- Degree in relevant field of study.
- Continually leveling up their photography education. Always learning new things and engaging with other photographers.
- Streamlined with their organizational workflow. We may need you to re-edit a photo months or years after it was taken.
- Well-versed in creating effective visuals for social media posts. You never forget the vertical.
- Willing to get their hands dirty and use tools, not just their camera.
- Your own main gear is not essential. We provide the specialized gear.
- Must be able and familiar with the safe and proper procedure used for lifting a car for capturing shots of the under carriage.
- Be streamlined with your organizational workflow -- able to successfully manage multiple projects and meet deadlines.
- Videography experience preferred but not required.
