Photographer Wanted The Fencing Academy is looking for an enthusiastic photographer to provide pictures from various fencing events, for use within it's media outlets. Now, we're not looking for the next David Bailey, but it would be generally helpful, if you know how to handle a camera and are good at pointing it in the right direction to get a decent picture.

This will be a responsible position within the Fencing Academy and is also a paid position. Yes, you will receive readies (money) for your effort. Ideally, you will be shooting with a digital camera with a flash unit, and own your own personal computer, so you can write the pictures you shoot onto a CD . You would need to be available on the occasional weekday evening along with the odd Saturday and Sunday. Realistically, you wouldn't be required to cover more than 3/4 events in a month.

All your expenses will be paid. You will also get to wear an official staff Fencing Academy badge which will entitle you to a discount off your regular fencing fees along with other exciting perks. Please contact us at the Fencing Academy if you are interested.
