Nature Photography Educators

IMAgEN8 nature photography educators plan and deliver nature photography workshops inspired by an appreciation of the local environment. They conduct 5-6 one hour workshops per term, download, curate and process photographs, print pictures and contribute to digital publications. They work with students in critiquing images, and writings to accompany the photographs.

​

If you love nature + photography + teaching children, please get in touch. 

Skills/competencies sought

IMAgEN8 nature photography educators will bring some or all of the following:

• A belief in our mission and vision and a love for Nature

• Digital SLR nature photography experience

• Environmental education experience

• Experience in coaching or working with children

• Digital photo processing experience (Adobe Lightroom or similar)

• Digital or educational content creation experience

• Clear communication skills

• Patience, energy and enthusiasm for teaching children

We are currently delivering workshops in a few schools in Auckland. We are looking to expand within Auckland and also start these up in other cities. If you have a love for Nature and believe that a connection with Nature is good for our wellbeing, we’d love to talk to you! We work with students (Years 4-9), so you should love working with children. A police clearance and appropriate background checks will be required before you can start working with students.

Commitment required

The contract will be for a school term. We run ~5 workshops at a school per term in terms 2 and 3. Each workshop involves roughly 8-10 hrs of work including planning, travel, workshop & download, processing and printing pictures. We are keen to have people committed to work with a school for the whole year, but flexible to individual availability. 

Location

Auckland, and rest of New Zealand

Geographic considerations

Team meetings can be held remotely if need be using video or voice conferencing.

Remuneration
