Help us capture school moments that last a lifetime!

Are you energetic, reliable and great with people? Would you enjoy being part of a friendly, high-performing team that takes pride in creating memorable school photography experiences?

At MSP Photography Sydney West, our purpose is simple: To capture school moments that last a lifetime.

Our mission is to create an exceptional photography experience for schools, students and their families through quality, service and strong relationships, making the process simple, seamless and hassle-free.

We are looking for enthusiastic, reliable and personable individuals to join our photography team for the 2027 school year.

Based in Seven Hills, we provide school photography services across greater Western Sydney, from Parramatta to the Blue Mountains and from the Hills to the Hawkesbury.

The Role

We're recruiting casual Portrait and Group Photographers to work approximately 1–3 days per week during school terms, with time off during school holidays.

Training commences Wednesday, 27 January 2027.

School photography is an active and rewarding role where no two days are quite the same.

You'll travel to different schools, photograph students individually or in groups, work closely with school staff and colleagues, and help create a positive and enjoyable photography experience.

This is a hands-on, physically active role involving early starts, setting up and packing down equipment, and working efficiently in a busy school environment.

Full training, photographic equipment and uniforms are provided.

We're looking for people who share our commitment to quality, relationships, accountability and continuous improvement.

- Friendly, patient and approachable:



You genuinely enjoy working with children and have a natural ability to make students feel comfortable while building positive relationships with school staff.

- Quality-focused and detail-oriented: You take pride in your work, notice the small details and care about delivering a high standard of photography and service.

- Reliable and accountable: You are punctual, organised, self-motivated and take responsibility for your work and commitments. You understand the importance of arriving at schools on time and being prepared for the day ahead.

- Energetic and adaptable: You enjoy being active, can manage the physical demands of the role and remain positive and focused in a fast-paced setting.

- Confident with technology: You are comfortable using computers and learning new systems. Experience with Canon mirrorless cameras is an advantage, but not essential.

- Willing to learn and improve: You are open to feedback, enjoy developing new skills and are happy to follow established photography processes and standards.

Previous professional photography experience is not essential. We're looking for the right attitude, reliability and willingness to learn.
