Are you handy with a camera? Do you know your Spider-Man from your Superman?
BGCP Comic Con and the Blackheart Market are looking for a freelance photographer to join our touring team for the 2026 season. We host events all across Scotland, from massive takeovers in East Kilbride and Dundee to pop-up markets in Inverness and the Highlands.
We need someone who isn’t just great at framing a shot, but who loves capturing the atmosphere of a busy event.
The Role:
- Cosplay Photography: You must be confident approaching cosplayers, asking for photos, and giving them direction on how to pose to make their costumes look epic.
- Candid Moments: Capturing families having fun, kids meeting superheroes, and the buzz of a busy market hall.
- Trader & Product Shots: Taking high-quality images of our trader stalls (toys, art, crafts) that we can use to promote them on social media.
- Fast Turnaround: We love getting a “highlight reel” quickly after the event to share while the hype is high.
Who We Are Looking For:
- Outgoing & Confident: You will be the face of the event when asking for photos. You need to be happy directing large groups or shy kids to get the best shot.
- Willing to Travel: Our tour covers the Central Belt (Glasgow, Livingston, East Kilbride), Fife (Kirkcaldy, Dunfermline, Dundee), and further North to Inverness and Elgin.
- Reliable: We have a busy calendar, and we need someone we can count on for scheduled dates.
Payment & Perks:
- Pay: Negotiable day rate (please state your expected rate in your application).
- Travel: Expenses for travel to venues outside your local area will be discussed.
- Access: All-areas access to every event.
How to Apply: Please send an email to ian@bgcp.co.uk with:
- A link to your portfolio (Instagram or Website). Please highlight any event or portrait work.
- Your location and availability for weekends.
- Your expected day rate or hourly rate.
- A brief note on why you’d be a good fit for a Comic Con/Horror Market environment.
