Photography Collective

We’re looking for unique, original content

• work connected to North Shields and the wider area

We don’t have the capacity to train people from the ground up, but we love working with people who are passionate, eager to learn, willing to share their experience, and have a clear idea of what they want to create.

You’ll be part of a skilled team, making it a great space to learn from others, swap ideas, and grow through collaboration.

How we work

All volunteers are asked to commit to a minimum of 3 months.
This helps us build continuity and meaningful working relationships.

By role:

• Photography: at least 1 shoot or image set per month, or agreed event coverage

Best suited if you:

• already have a portfolio or Instagram showing your work
• are comfortable photographing people, places or events
• can edit your own images to a basic standard

Ideal if you enjoy:

• exploring local history, culture and community life

We’re particularly keen on:

• profiles of local people, creatives and organisers
• place-based features with depth and context

Skills

I Love North Shields is a small, community-led platform with a wide reach. To keep things sustainable and respectful of everyone’s time, we collaborate with people who:

• are self-motivated
• can work independently
• bring ideas rather than waiting for briefs
• communicate clearly and meet agreed deadlines

Because we receive lots of enquiries, we ask everyone to apply with: 

• a clear pitch, plan or idea
• links to previous work (required)
• confirmation of a 3-month commitment

Applications without a pitch or examples of work may not be responded to.
