Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Ship's Photographer in Sept 2022
The interview was over Microsoft Teams with the managing director of the company, who was friendly enough. The interview was quite difficult with a lot of very specific technical questions.
- What is a stop of light?
- What are lighting ratios? Explain in simple terms how they work? How do you calculate them?
- What is the difference between hard and soft light? What techniques and equipment can you use to achieve them?
- What is the difference between soft and diffused light?
- What is the relationship between the triangle of exposure? (ISO, aperture, shutter-speed) Have definitions for and knowledge on each aspect.
- How do you use a light meter?
- How do you get flat lighting?
- With no limitations, what is your ideal photography studio set up? How many lights? What other equipment? Where is all the equipment placed (down to how many metres away from the subject and each piece of equipment they are)? What are all your camera setting on? Why? What will the light metre reading be?
- To get the ideal light, how far away should a soft box be from its subject? (depends on its size)
- What is feathering? How do you achieve it?
- What different light attachments have you used? What effect do they all create? (soft box, beauty dish, honeycomb, snoot)
- How do you deal with people?
- What experience do you have in customer service?

Skype interview, sometimes depending on your location a normal interview is taken, brief portfolio review, the interviewer is vry friendly and the process was really smooth. I felt lied about the coomissions system though
- Are you prepared to live on a ship for the next months working everyday
Anonymous Employee in Southampton, England
I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at The Ship's Photographer (Southampton, England) in May 2015
As they are absolutely desperate for staff (because nobody wants to work 13 hours per day NON STOP for 7 days per week for only £600 per month), they will take on anyone they can. you show them a few photos you have taken (I showed them on my phone), the next thing i knew I was hired.
- show us your photos...
