Qualifications

• 2–4 years of experience shooting and editing digital content (professional, freelance, or equivalent)
• Strong camera skills with DSLR/mirrorless systems (studio + field production)

• Experience with multi-camera setups or interview lighting
• Basic graphic design or thumbnail experience (Photoshop)
