Real estate photographer/videographer

About the role

In this role, you will be responsible for capturing a variety of real estate media content for properties throughout San Diego County. While your primary focus will be photography, your work may also include capturing video, drone footage, 3D tours, floor plans, social media content, twilight photography, and more. Most scheduled hours will involve shooting properties in the field. During slower periods or limited-shoot days, you may assist with training, practice shoots, equipment preparation, content creation, learning new shooting techniques, or other projects that support Radiate’s growth.

This is a physically demanding role that requires flexibility, reliability, and attention to detail. Some days you may be shooting high-end coastal or luxury homes, while others may involve smaller properties, condos, challenging access, or changing weather conditions. Regardless of the property, we expect consistent effort, professionalism, and pride in your work.

Radiate provides all professional camera, drone, gimbal, 3D tour, and other production equipment needed for assigned shoots.

• Be willing to assist with training, practice, content creation, equipment preparation, or other internal projects when not actively shooting properties

Schedule

This is a part-time role with hours based on client bookings and business needs.

• The position may initially begin with approximately 1–2 shoots per week, with opportunities for additional work as Radiate continues to grow
• Weekday availability is strongly preferred. The more availability you can provide, the more scheduling opportunities may be available
• You’ll maintain your availability by blocking out times you are unavailable in advance. When your calendar shows you as available, you are expected to be available for Radiate to schedule shoots during that time
• Once a shoot has been scheduled during your stated availability, reliability and honoring that commitment are essential
• Occasional twilight, evening, or weekend availability is a plus
