ANTI is is hiring a photographer – apply by 2nd May!
ANTI – Contemporary Art Festival is an international live art festival held annually in Kuopio, Finland. The festival’s focus is on projects by artists from around the world that explore and explode urban space. This year the festival will take place between 13th and 19th September.
Ever since its beginning, ANTI Festival has invested in producing high-quality photograph and video documentation. Documenting art presented in a public space, occurring in the moment and based on engaging audiences is a challenging task requiring sensitivity related to performers, places of performance, audiences and participants. As a result, the festival has been collaborating with the same, highly experienced documentation professionals for a long time. Photographer Pekka Mäkinen has been documenting the festival through his photographs throughout its history, and now we are looking for a successor for them.
For reference, take a look at Pekka Mäkinen’s photography gallery on ANTI Festival:
We expect the selected photographer to have experience and work samples of event photography as well as the opportunity to use their own photographic equipment.
The job requires flexibility in terms of schedules; there will be about 35 different events during the festival week to be photographed, and we expect ready-to-publish images already during the festival week. We are looking for a long-term partner, but cooperation will initially be agreed for the 2022 festival.
If you are interested to work with ANTI, please fill in the form by 2nd May 2022. Please attach a link to your portfolio and indicate a fee proposal. We will contact all the applicants after the deadline.
