Team mission
We’re looking for a passionate, adventure-driven freelance photographer to help us capture the essence of the unique activities offered inPortugal and beyond. By stepping into the shoes of our customers, you’ll help us create visual content that inspires travelers to experience the world.
As part of our global freelance team, you’re based in Lisbon, photographing activities across the city and surrounding areas, from iconic landmarks to hidden gems. Whether it’s a city tour, a cultural performance, or a water-based activity, you'll have the opportunity to experience a diverse range of activities in various environments and seasons. We’re looking for photographers who are excited about exploring new places, engaging with real people, and bringing experiences to life through imagery.
Your mission
Our photographers are strategically located around the world and travel short distances from their base to fulfill assignments, capturing the experiences of activities offered on our platform. Assignments are paid based on the duration of the activity (ranging from 1-hour tours to full-day trips), and you will deliver a set number of photos, depending on the assignment’s duration. All entrance fees are covered, and a travel stipend is provided to our photographers for each assignment. We require that you be fluent in both English and Portuguese, and properly registered as a freelancer in your country of residence.
