📌 What the work involves:

  • On-location shoots at restaurants in the NY area
  • Short-form videos for Instagram Reels & TikTok
  • Food photos for Instagram & Facebook posts
  • All videos come with a clear script and shot list — so you always know exactly what to capture
  • No post-production required — we handle everything on our end

💰 Rate: ~$400/hr + travel expenses

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm Julián, part of the Onboarding team at OCUS 📸 a global platform that connects photographers with paid assignments for major delivery apps like Uber Eats.

We're currently growing our photographer network in the Netherlands and wanted to reach out to this community directly!

Most of our assignments involve visiting local restaurants and capturing food photography from a provided shot list. We also have projects in real estate, product, and portrait, however the majority of assignments are related to food photography.

Here's how it works:

• You browse available assignments in your area and pick the ones that fit your schedule

• Show up, shoot based on a shot list, and upload the content, no editing required

• No platform fees or commissions, the listed rate is exactly what you receive

• Current rates in the Netherlands range from €50 to €103 per assignment

• Shoots typically last between 1 and 2 hours

• We also offer at-home assignments where we send you a voucher to order food to your place and shoot from home!

• We sometimes offer bonuses depending on demand

It's designed as flexible side income, a great way to fill gaps between shoots without having to find clients yourself.

🛠️ Equipment required:

• DSLR or mirrorless camera with a minimum 12MP sensor

• Wide-angle lens + 50mm or telephoto lens

• Tripod

If you're interested or have any questions, feel free to drop a comment or send me a DM. I'd love to chat!
