NQ School Photography
is part of a national business that has been providing top quality School Photography products to families all around Australia for over 40 years. We pride ourselves on the quality of our work and are dedicated to putting a smile on every child's face.
We are looking for a dedicated and motivated people person to join our North Queensland branch. This position is a customer facing, field based role, primarily working within schools and with staff and students to capture imagery for use in School Photography products.
The Role
The successful candidate will be an enthusiastic, organised, friendly "people person" who enjoys early starts and working with children. This role requires the ability to work with both individuals and groups of 50+ students or staff.
Both individual and group photographer positions available.
No two days look the same — one day you might be photographing a primary school, the next a high school. It's fast-paced, rewarding, and genuinely fun.

The ability to pick up new skills quickly
Independence and a proactive attitude

What's On Offer
Casual work during school terms
Hands-on training — no prior photography experience needed
The chance to be part of a genuinely supportive, established team, with ongoing mentorship and opportunities to grow your skills
Varied, active work — no two days are the same
