What is it like working with clients or customers at The Ship's Photographer?
Pros
Fantastic opportunity to travel the world. Great to work on your sales skills, photography and customer service. Very social job, very multi cultural and a great chance to make new friends.
Cons
Long hours, no full days off so your 6 month contract is 6 months of non stop work. People employed the same as you with none to little qualifications, as you all start as the same tier of photographer. Can be quite easy to feel undervalued.
Advice to Management
Structure the hiring system more fairly based on experience and qualifications. Listen to current staff more on what is working and what isn’t regarding roles of the job and daily tasks. It is important to get opinions from staff on board as it’s very different to many theories held in head office. Have land based training for new staff to avoid current staff being heavily burdened upon new to sea arrivals.
Great to work on your sales skills, photography and customer service.

What are working conditions like at The Ship's Photographer?

You show you care, they listen and let you collaborate with TSP, That is great! Also on difficult times like this, TSP showed care and support to the other colleagues onboard. Makes You feel in a safe place. At least to me...
Cons
Not many variety on back grounds, we regularly take photos of the same but with different name. You have to pay your flight ticket back to your home town.
Advice to Management
Gangways are Pointless, we should focus more in portraits and Spot Light. A 99 package feels like you just sold your job to 10 guests that makes you wait 3 hours in the gangway, and the day after they tell you that we were not there...
