We are looking for some lovely volunteers who can help us take great pictures that we can then use in our adoption posts and social media! Pictures of our cats and kittens are the first way great adopters connect with our kitties! It’s so important for them to have adorable pictures to show how sweet they are, and while many of our fosters take wonderful pictures, some are less tech savvy or able-bodied and need a bit more support.
Fancy equipment and lots of experience are very appreciated but not required for this position. As all of our staff knows, anyone with a good phone camera and patience can do it! Basic editing skills also would be very helpful (again as basic as the editing features on your phone is totally fine). We are a foster based rescue, so transport to our different foster homes, generally all based in San Francisco, is necessary. Good availability particularly around our kitten seasons (spring and fall we often have new kittens coming online weekly) would be very helpful as well, though we are accepting multiple volunteers for this position to make sure the load isn’t too much for anyone.
From personal experience I can guarantee kitten photography is an absolute blast! If you love playing with, cuddling, and getting to show off cute cats to everyone, this volunteer position is for you :)
If we think you are a good fit for our organization, we will be giving you a call to chat and go into further details. We may also ask for a quick sample of your photos, mostly to check the resolution of your camera works for our needs. We can also provide training for how to take pictures of mischievous moving targets, just let us know!
