Stock News Photos is an employee owned, start-up website focused on providing World Class, Award Winning photojournalism to media outlets of all sizes from Fortune 500 media conglomerates to independent small market publications. We are now hiring a photography assistant gig for a one time event. All welcome to apply. No experience necessary, will train. Our photojournalist will be on assignment in the Midwest to photograph a President Donald Trump political rally. Indoor Political rallies are somewhat out of the purview of what our company normally shoots, and if approved for press access to the event it would be awesome if we could hire someone with a strong interest and intellect of the former President. This could lead to many more opportunities in the future for the right person. If interested or for more information please read the Frequently Asked Questions and apply below.  Thank you.

I have no Photography or Photography Assistant experience. Can I still apply?
Absolutely. We encourage and welcome all to apply. If you can meet the job requirements, this position is a fantastic opportunity for an individual who has an interest in President Trump and/or photography to get paid for learning a little bit about both.
I have been told by some that my views or beliefs are "fringe", "conspiratorial" or "unconventional". I have even been ridiculed or ostracized for them. Can I still apply?
Yes! In fact, you just may be who we are looking for. We always respect everyone we work with no matter their opinions, political views or beliefs.
What are the gig requirements?
Candidates must be:
  • 18 or older Legal working age
  • Able to be on your feet and physically fit enough to walk with a 5-10 lb. backpack on
  • Able to travel to location
  • Able to follow direction
What are the gig duties?
The gig duties are very minimal. Candidates will:
  • Accompany our Award Winning Photojournalist to location wearing a light pack  
  • Follow the lead and direction of our Photojournalist
When and where is the gig?
Unfortunately, we are unable to accurately know the exact date and location of the rally this far out. It will be within a 4 hour or less radius of Bloomington, IL. Once the rally is announced, we will have about four-six weeks advanced notice. The rally will likely be one that happens in late early fall/winter. Our staff will be leaving on the morning/afternoon of the shoot, driving 2-4 hours straight through with meal and restroom breaks to location and shooting for about 1½ -2 hours. The team will then drive back to central Illinois.
What kind of compensation is included?
We include:
  • $125 cash payment
  • $25 cash food & travel stipend
  • Travel provided
  • Professional reference
  • Potential for future opportunities 
I have had legal issues in the past or I have said some things or have videos about me online that stigmatize me. Will that prevent me from qualification?
No, not at all. You are a human. Humans make mistakes. We believe in second chances and in most cases, third or fourth ones too. It's O.K. to have said or done things that you regret, that have been misconstrued or are unpopular. We're really not concerned about the silly anti-Obama or anti-Trump tweet you made, the embarrassing whatever video content or any other speech or action deemed offensive by some. Just be honest and tell us. Disclosure is key. We will address any concerns we may have with you and evaluate your situation fairly, on an individual basis. To error is a human quality, to forgive and accept does not seem to be.
