Photography Profit Share Position

Benefits

• Company parties
• Flexible schedule
• Profit sharing

Higher Ground Integrated Human Services (IHS), Inc. is seeking a creative, entrepreneurial Photographer to operate and grow our on‑site photography studio while teaching beginner photography classes.

This is a profit‑share opportunity, ideal for a photographer who wants access to studio space, built‑in marketing support, and a platform to generate income through classes, sessions, and studio use — without the overhead of owning a studio.

This role is not employment. It is a business partnership‑style contract where the photographer collects revenue and pays a percentage as a facility and studio usage fee.

• Photographer retains 60% of all gross photography‑related revenue.
• Higher Ground retains 40% as a Studio & Facility Rental Fee.
• Photographer collects all payments directly.
• No income cap—earnings scale with class attendance and bookings.

• Beginner photography classes
• Private photography sessions
• Studio photo shoots
• Workshops or themed sessions
• Portfolio‑building sessions

• Design and teach beginner photography classes (camera basics, composition, lighting, settings, etc.)
• Lead small‑group classes and hands‑on sessions
• Create a welcoming, supportive learning environment
• Set class schedules in coordination with Higher Ground

• Operate and maintain the photography studio during scheduled use
• Ensure studio is clean, organized, and ready for sessions
• Manage studio time usage efficiently
• Follow all facility rules and shared space expectations

• Develop class offerings, workshops, or session packages
• Assist with promotional content (photos, flyers, sample work)
• Collaborate with Higher Ground on scheduling and marketing
• Build a consistent presence that attracts repeat clients and students

• Photography experience (professional or advanced hobbyist)
• Strong understanding of camera fundamentals (DSLR or mirrorless)
• Ability to teach beginners clearly and patiently
• Comfortable working with diverse age groups and skill levels
• Reliable, organized, and professional
• Entrepreneurial mindset—motivated by profit share, not hourly pay

• Teaching, mentoring, or workshop experience
• Studio photography experience
• Familiarity with lighting equipment and basic studio setups
• Social media or portfolio showcasing photography work

This role is an independent contractor position.

• Self‑manages payments, collecting revenue directly.
• Self‑manages taxes.
• Must not present self as an employee of Higher Ground.
• Must provide mandatory equipment unless otherwise agreed.

• Access to photography studio space
• Scheduling coordination
• Marketing and promotional support
• Booking infrastructure (if applicable)
• A built‑in audience for classes and creative programming
• Opportunity to scale income without studio overhead
