I’m taking off for some travels in Europe, and when I return, JJ Tiziou Photography will be hiring a new assistant. It’s been such a pleasure working with the amazing Rachel Kantra Beal, but it’s time for her to move on to other adventures, and so I’m looking for someone awesome to fill her shoes.
Update: This position has been filled. Thank you!
Please take a moment to peruse the job description below, and if anyone great comes to mind, please send this their way. Thank you!
Studio Assistant – JJ Tiziou Photography
15hrs/week – West Philly
In 2003, JJ Tiziou Photography began as a one-man show focused on telling stories.

- Archive management, file prep
- Accounts payable/receivable
- Project management
- Assisting in workshops / presentations
- Travel management
- Community outreach
- Researching opportunities (grants, fellowships etc) & tracking deadlines
- Website updates, administering social media, etc
- Assisting with shoots
- Carrying / managing equipment & inventory
- Creating documentary media (photos/video/audio as needed)
- Serving as model for tests
- Assisting with exhibit installation
- Driving / providing transportation (vehicle not required)
Preference given for previous admin experience in a high-volume, client-oriented field; creative problem solvers and ease with both computers and humans. Interest in photography and familiarity with Adobe Lightroom are a plus but not required. Casual and sunny home-office with cats; flexible hourly engagement to start late August / early September.
To apply:
Please send a letter of interest and resume (max one page each) to studio@jjtiziou.net and copy jj+assistant@jjtiziou.net
