FAQ
If I am an associate of MRP, can I still shoot my own stuff?
Yes, of course! We actually NEED you to run your own business as well because we want to hire you as a contractor. We will just work with you to determine dates that you are available to shoot with us and work towards booking you on those dates. You have the ability to say 'no' and control when you take on work.
Do I have to be involved in consultations?
Occasionally a client asks to meet the associate photographer in the consultation phase in which case we would ask you to join in on a virtual call for a portion of the consultation.
What does the pay look like?
We offer a competitive hourly rate for shooting, as well as, travel beyond 50 miles each way. We also provide you with a camera card to ensure that you have enough space to keep the clients' images safe.
Do I get to keep the images I take for MRP?
Yes, if you want to! However, when associates take photos for our events, those materials are legally owned by MRP.
