PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER
Get Paid to Shoot. Get Paid More to Perform.
This is not a slow-paced studio job.
We’re looking for high-energy photographers who can shoot efficiently, direct confidently, and thrive in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
If you like staying busy, working with people, and getting paid based on your performance—keep reading.
Compensation (Where This Stands Out)
- Hourly + bonuses + tips
- Top photographers regularly earn:
- Substantial bonuses per pay period
- Additional tips from guests
- The more you produce and perform, the more you make—no ceiling during peak season
What You’ll Actually Do
- Photograph individuals, couples, and large groups (fast turnover)
- Direct posing quickly and confidently (this is HUGE)
- Capture high-selling images (you’re shooting to SELL, not just shoot)
- Work across multiple themed sets (Western, Victorian, 1920s, etc.)
- Maintain consistent lighting, composition, and pacing under pressure
You’ll often be working with multiple groups at once. Efficiency matters.
This Role Is PERFECT For You If You:
- Can confidently pose and direct people (not just take pictures)
- Thrive in fast-paced, high-volume environments
- Understand that great photos = great sales
- Can stay consistent with lighting and framing every time
- Have strong energy and engage well with customers
- Want to make money based on performance, not just hourly pay
This Role Is NOT For You If You:
- Prefer slow, artistic, low-volume shoots
- Struggle to direct or speak confidently to groups
- Get overwhelmed when it’s busy
- Want full creative control over every image
- Aren’t comfortable working with a steady flow of customers
What Makes Our Photographers Successful
- Speed without sacrificing quality
- Strong posing + communication skills
- Ability to “set the scene” and create sellable moments
- Consistency (lighting, framing, exposure every time)
- Positive, high-energy attitude—even during rushes
Expectations
- Must be available weekends & holidays (closed Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter)
- High-volume days require focus and stamina
Why This Is Different
- You’ll build real-world speed, confidence, and people skills fast
- Performance-based income with real upside
- Work in one of the top-rated attractions in Pigeon Forge
