Our Onboarding Process
At Showcase Photographers, we believe in setting our Media Partners up for success through a structured and supportive onboarding process. Below are the steps we take to ensure each new photographer is confident, skilled, and ready to deliver exceptional results.
1. Initial Call 📞
The process begins with a personal call where we get to know you, introduce you to our team, and discuss what it means to be a Media Partner with Showcase Photographers. This is a great opportunity for you to ask questions and get familiar with our standards and expectations.
2. Shadow a Veteran Photographer 👥
Next, you’ll spend time observing one of our experienced photographers on the job. This shadowing experience provides you with insight into our workflow, client interactions, and the quality of work that we deliver every day.
3. Online Training 🎥
After shadowing, you’ll complete approximately 3 hours of online training, which includes an in-depth training video. This step ensures you’re familiar with our processes, best practices, and tools so you can approach shoots with confidence.
4. Hands-On Training 🤝
Once your online training is complete, you’ll pair up with a veteran photographer for hands-on training. This on-the-job experience allows you to apply what you’ve learned, while receiving real-time guidance and feedback.
5. Practice Shoot 📸
You’ll conduct a practice photoshoot where you capture a property on your own. The photos will be submitted to our editing team and reviewed for quality, composition, and consistency. This step helps ensure you’re meeting Showcase standards before moving forward.
6. Half-Price Photoshoot 🏠
Next, you’ll complete a half-price photoshoot for a real client. This is your opportunity to gain more experience and refine your skills while still receiving constructive feedback from our team.
7. Full-Price Photographer with Showcase 🎉
Once you’ve successfully completed all prior steps, you’re officially ready to work as a Full-Price Photographer with Showcase Photographers! At this stage, you’ll be a trusted Media Partner delivering high-quality still shots to our valued clients.
