Smiler, an international platform for tourism and candid photography, is looking for an outgoing and proactive photographer for family and private tour photoshoots in Santa Fe. This is a great opportunity to combine your people skills and eye for photography while creating meaningful memories for visitors.

We're currently working on a new project involving documentary-style photography of guided tours. If the collaboration goes well, there may be ongoing opportunities in the future.

📸 What You’ll Do
Tour Photography: Capture private tours by focusing on natural interactions between the guide and guests, guest immersion, and iconic landmarks. No posed photos – we want real moments.

No Editing Required: You’ll only need to deliver RAW photos – no post-processing is necessary. All content is delivered in RAW with full usage rights transferred to the client.

Work From a Brief: Before each shoot, you’ll receive a clear shot list that must be reviewed and agreed upon in advance.
