Tandem Shooting

A chance for newly onboarded photographers to shoot photos at live client shoots, honing their craft while observing an experienced Media Pro in action.

Section Welcome & Onboarding
Owner Eric Nystrom
Note

This is a live, paid, client-facing appointment, not a training session. Treat it with the same care as any other shoot.

Main Photographer

Lead
  • Serve as primary client contact
  • Complete all products assigned, for delivery to client
  • Coordinate shoot flow to avoid getting in each other's way
  • Notify Ops and the practicing photographer if the shoot is delayed or cancelled

Practicing Photographer

Practice
  • Wait for the main photographer before getting started occupied homes
  • Complete as many assigned products as possible while the main photographer is shooting
  • Attempt to finish all products, but stop shooting when the main photographer completes occupied homes
  • Upload all media and move Jira cards appropriately
  • Keep questions minimal so the shoot can finish on time
