This job is an on-call type job and you will get compensated as necessary according to the type of shooting we will be doing. Is this a problem for you? If so, why, and what idea would you have to change this from being a problem for you?*

You may need to be a 2nd hand photographer if we are doing group shots such as weddings, events etc. Do you have enough experience to do so? Explain.*

• Yes I have a great amount of experience and this wouldn't be a problem.
• I have a good amount of experience and I might be nervous as to how my photographs would come out, but I would not be afraid to take the part in such a situation.
• I have minimum experience in shooting in such situations, and I would need direction from the Employer/Photographer, but I am sure I could get the job done correctly.
• I do not think I could do anymore than help out the sole photographer/employer do her job, and I would not be comfortable shooting alone. I do not even own my own camera.
