"I cannot overstate the importance" - Fair City producer regarding on-set photography
The job listing specifies that the successful candidate will need to perform the following tasks:
- Deliver a minimum of 16 approved photograph stills in both high and low resolution to Fair City each week, for 50 weeks per year, as specified by RTÉ.
- Be on set or on location an average of 20 hours per week over the course of three days. Occasional weekend and night shift work maybe required.
On the job position, Brigie de Courcy, the Executive Producer for Fair City, said: "I cannot overstate the importance of high quality, highly curated photography in promoting Fair City in the busy landscape of press and digital publicity. It is vital to have a skilled photographer to capture, in single frames, moments of drama that will intrigue our regular audience, and bring new viewers to Fair City."
From the official RTÉ statement, they also further explained the importance of this position:
"Popular soaps, such as Fair City, with multiple characters and multiple unfolding storylines have a sustained need for high quality imagery across the year. This imagery is then used across a variety of media outlets to help drive audiences to the show as viewers can now decide 'what to watch' based on the promotional image that appears on their platform."
Interestingly, at the time of writing, looking at the
RTÉ Vacancies page, the job listing is not on there, so details on how to actually apply for the position haven't been made clear.
