Full job description

Freelance Dance Photographer

Location: Essex
Job Type: Freelance
Schedule: Predominantly weekends

LW Photography is seeking an experienced dance photographer to join our expanding freelance team, with a particular focus on dance competitions, festivals and performances across Essex.

We're looking specifically for someone who understands the challenges of live dance photography — capturing movement, expression and key moments consistently in fast-paced, often low-light environments.

This is a specialist role and previous experience photographing dance, stage performances or similar events is essential.

What We're Looking For

Proven experience photographing dance competitions, festivals, shows or live performances
Strong understanding of photographing fast movement in challenging and changing lighting conditions
Ability to anticipate jumps, turns, poses and key moments within routines
Confidence capturing consistently sharp images without disrupting performances
An eye for timing, composition, expression and flattering body positioning
Ability to maintain a consistent photographic style across a high volume of images
Confidence working independently and following an event photography brief
A strong portfolio demonstrating previous dance or performance photography
Friendly, reliable and professional when representing LW Photography

Equipment Requirements

Photographers must own professional equipment suitable for dance and low-light event photography, including:

Professional DSLR or mirrorless camera body
70–200mm f/2.8 lens or equivalent
Equipment capable of producing high-quality results at higher ISO levels
Sufficient batteries and memory cards for full event days

Additional professional camera bodies and fast lenses are advantageous.

Responsibilities

Capture high-quality photographs throughout dance competitions, festivals and performances
Photograph individual dancers and groups while capturing key moments within each routine
Maintain consistent framing, exposure and image quality throughout the event
Follow specific photography briefs and event requirements
Upload photographs promptly following events and within agreed deadlines
Work collaboratively with other LW Photography team members where multiple photographers are covering an event
Communicate professionally with event organisers, dance schools, teachers and other event staff
Represent LW Photography in a friendly and professional manner at all times

Qualifications & Experience

Minimum 1 year of relevant photography experience
Previous dance or live performance photography experience required
Strong understanding of shutter speed, autofocus and exposure in low-light environments
Full UK Driving Licence
Reliable access to transport
Willingness to undergo an Enhanced DBS check
Weekend availability is essential

Freelance Work

This is a freelance position, with assignments offered depending on our event calendar, location, experience and availability.

There is no guaranteed volume of work; however, we're looking to develop a long-term relationship with a specialist Essex-based dance photographer who can become a regular member of our team as our dance event coverage continues to grow.

Successful applicants will initially be invited to an online interview, followed by a comprehensive in-person onboarding and induction process before covering events independently.

Compensation & Benefits

Competitive freelance rates
Opportunities for regular dance photography assignments
Loyalty and performance-based bonuses
Free or subsidised travel where applicable
Referral programme
Opportunity to cover larger dance events as part of the LW Photography team

How to Apply

Please include:

Your location within Essex
Details of your dance/performance photography experience
A portfolio containing examples of previous dance photography
Details of the camera bodies and lenses you currently use
Your typical weekend availability

Please note: This position is specifically for photographers with previous dance or live performance photography experience.

Work Location: On the road – primarily across Essex

Pay: £180.00-£225.00 per day
