I've built a fairly high ranking site on Google and am planning to expand it this year. I would like to have an exclusive photographer, but would like a trial period with someone before I consider a hire (as our tastes may differ, or their photos may not sit well with my readers and clients). Upon thinking about this, a young photographer looking to build a client list and a reference or two would probably be best, as he/she could intern while I evaluate their work. For those familiar with the process, a few questions:

  1. Where is a good place to find entry-level photographers, trying to gain a client list and references, outside of posting on a college or high school board?

  2. How to contracts typically work for photographers? I'll explain: if I like the photographer's work, I'll want to keep them on board - I'm curious as to how photographers are paid (hourly, per project, etc).

Are you looking for someone to do the work for free? You will most likely find someone but you are destroying the market for freelance photographers. If you can afford a pro, then pleas do hire one. You will be happier with the results. –  sbaechler Jan 27 '13 at 16:28
He is looking for an intern. This does not necessarily mean someone who is not paid. Usually they are paid a low fee, in exchange for being more forgiving in quality - usually a good start for young guys in photography. Don't down-vote the question just because of that. They build some experience and can expand their portfolios with this. –  TFuto Oct 29 at 16:42

Check out stock libraries like iStock, maybe you'll find what you are looking for there.

He is looking for a photographer, not photos. –  TFuto Oct 29 at 16:43
