Seeking 2022 Rodeo Photographer to Join Our Team

We are currently looking for a photographer for the 2022 Carbondale Wild West Rodeo season from June 2nd through August 18th. Paula Mayer, our 2021 photographer, is returning and we are looking for a second photographer to be part of the team.

This position provides real world experience shooting a western sports/action event. It is a goal of CWWR to work with up and coming
photographers who are getting their career started or attending school with the goal of being a professional photographer. We would also consider an established photographer who just wants to have some fun and get some great shots at the rodeo. As a non-profit we strive to provide scholarships and funding to charitable causes, and we couldn’t do this without our volunteers. The photographer position has a small stipend for compensation, as well as pizza and beverage at each rodeo.

Photos will be used on Facebook, CWWR website, and CWWR Flickr.
Photographer keeps copyright and licensing. You are encouraged to offer your photos for sale and your contact info will be available on our website. If you or someone you know of might be interested in being the Carbondale Wild West Rodeo photographer for the 2022 season and potentially a year or two beyond that, please contact Ginny Harrington, CWWRA Web Coordinator at 970-318-0076 or [email protected]

Minimum requirements: proficiency in Adobe LR or Photoshop, comfortable around livestock, willing to work in all weather conditions..
