Job Description

📸🎥 Haunted Nights in Salem: Event Photographer + Videographer Wanted
Location: Salem, Massachusetts
Date: TBD (flexible based on your schedule)
Time: Evening — approx. 5:30/6:30 PM to 7:30/8:30 PM
Compensation: $250 for 2 hour shoot 

Can you capture the magic of a candlelit cobblestone street and the thrill of a ghost story all in one frame?
We’re looking for a multi-talented creative — someone who’s just as comfortable behind a camera snapping portraits as they are shooting cinematic video — to document a lively haunted pub crawl and ghost tour experience in historic Salem .

This isn’t just another gig — it’s a chance to blend history, nightlife, and the supernatural into content that feels alive.

🕯️ Your Mission:

• Shoot the Story: Capture a mix of atmospheric photos and engaging video clips that showcase the eerie charm and energy of the tour. You'll follow a small group as they explore haunted corners, raise glasses in local pubs, and hear tales of Salem’s spooky past.

• Dual Skillset Required: We need both high-quality photography and video content , so you should be confident working in both formats simultaneously .

• Deliverables:

  • 50 edited, high-resolution photos

  • 25 short, edited video clips (ideal for reels, ads, or trailers)

• Gear Up: Bring your own camera, lenses, lighting, and audio/video accessories as needed. We’ll provide props, tour direction, and talent to help set the scene.

🧙‍♀️ Ideal Candidate:

• Hybrid Shooter: You’re not just a photographer or videographer — you’re skilled in both, with a portfolio that shows it.

• Event Experience: You’ve worked fast-paced or social events before — think nightlife, street scenes, festivals, or tours.

• Editing Pro: You know how to bring out the mood in post — eerie when needed, fun when the drinks are flowing.

• Tech-Ready: You come equipped with professional-level gear (DSLR/mirrorless, mics, stabilizers, lighting, etc.). We’re aiming for quality , not phone footage.

• Detail-Oriented + Reliable: You’re great with direction and comfortable delivering polished work on a deadline.

📌 Important: Please submit a link to a dedicated portfolio or website — not just Instagram/TikTok.

🎭 Extras:

• Atmosphere Enhancers Provided: We’ll have a few models/actors to add energy and help stage engaging moments.

• Open to Collaboration: If you have access to additional talent or assistants, let’s talk — extra compensation can be arranged.

• Creative Freedom + Structure: You’ll be guided on key moments to capture, but we welcome your vision and creativity.

Ready to bring Salem’s haunted nightlife to life through your lens?
Send us your portfolio, a quick note about your style and availability, and let’s talk about making something ghostly and unforgettable.

Let the spirits guide your shots — and your edits. 👻🍷📹📷
