Built In Colorado is seeking a versatile freelance lifestyle photographer to help us capture the vibrant Colorado startup scene. In this role, you’ll accompany a staff writer on-location in Denver and Boulder to photograph collaborative teams, individuals and office interiors on an as-needed basis. 

The photographer should be adaptive and quick on their feet. They should possess an excellent sense of composition, as well as the ability to adhere to our photographic style guide.

They are comfortable shooting in a variety of location scenarios and have a friendly, casual manner when coaching subjects on position and pose.

We will typically need your services one or two times a month with potential for more in the future.

We pay $600 for the photoshoot, processing of the photos, and delivery.
