Anyone employed to take photos here?

[ChrisAdval]

Just wanted to know on how you get your first employment job as a photographer, from portfolio, type of photography, exclusive or non-exclusive contract, non-compete clauses? etc...

Even working for a publication, crime, any job just as long as you are the employee role, not employer as most photographers may be.

By calling and setting up portfolio reviews a head of time.

Are you talking about being a staffer?

I'm a video producer at a hospital. I applied for it like a normal job. No contracts or anything, though it is work for hire.

I'm a used car photographer part-time. But like above, I just applied for it like a normal job.
