Unless it's gone up a bit, a trainer gets less than $11/hour.<BR/><BR/>Also, as I point out in the guide (and I try to be delicate about it, but since others have mentioned it here), you do not have to be a pro to be a Disney PhotoPass photographer - in fact, it can work against you. If you poke around the net, you can find the job description and it's interesting to note that an essential qualification is to be able to carry the equipment, but knowledge and skills in photography is simply a desired qualification.<BR/><BR/>Not to say that all PhotoPass photogs are virtual amateurs either. MANY are enthusiasts and supplement income by hiring themselves out for private events. It's a very mixed bag. Some know how to shoot manual and some rely on auto settings (and when they changed lenses a couple of years ago or so, it caused big QoS problems). On the plus side, most are there not just for a job but to make memories for the guests at the park.Stitch Kingdomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01240127175687097606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553278593406733377.post-62226788909284609772009-03-09T05:26:00.000-04:002009-03-09T05:26:00.000-04:00Interesting, not only the post but also all the co...Interesting, not only the post but also all the comments.<BR/>ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553278593406733377.post-40399315532356884372009-03-08T00:21:00.000-05:002009-03-08T00:21:00.000-05:00odd factoid, I was in the group that helped start ...odd factoid, I was in the group that helped start Disney Photo Imaging (Photopass). The photopass photographer's actually make a lot less, though they can get lots of hours typically. We worked out the system so well, that pretty much anyone is hired, it's a machine now.Carrie Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16765896032354669368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553278593406733377.post-62271674412057187202009-03-07T11:34:00.000-05:002009-03-07T11:34:00.000-05:00One small fact from a previous full-time salaried ...One small fact from a previous full-time salaried Disney photographer (catalog work), many photographers on staff are no longer full time employees but rather "casual" employees who must follow a strict 29 hour a week rule. Believe me, a casual employee does not receive benefits or bonuses. <BR/><BR/>One particular department within Disney that I am extremely familiar with has one casual employee (he is the lead photographer BTW), two "temp" photographers who rotate around the 29 hour rule, and two full-time independent contractors who are used as a team (one is a stylist and the other was shown how to turn on the camera and push the button).<BR/><BR/>This isn't a rant against the Mouse (per say) but rather an eye opener on how corporations run their departments now-a-days in order to save money and keep stock holders happy.-Annie Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09611967786164805116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553278593406733377.post-69088257266594337692009-03-07T08:47:00.000-05:002009-03-07T08:47:00.000-05:00Thanks John!I've been a resort photographer for 27...Thanks John!<BR/>I've been a resort photographer for 27+ years and the reason I still have a contract is that we operate the business as a professional studio. There are many opportunities out there for photographers, young and old, to gain a foot hold in this field and to actually take back some turf. The dominant players operate on speed rather than quality and anyone willing to work hard can acquire a very solid base for a portrait business by operating as a pro studio. <BR/>Remember: oppernockity tunes only once!<BR/><BR/>Neil Rossmiller<BR/>Rossmiller Photography<BR/>Park City, UtahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553278593406733377.post-16669856384922370732009-03-07T07:06:00.000-05:002009-03-07T07:06:00.000-05:00Great post, John!

My family and I are at Disney right now enjoying a vacation and I was contemplating chatting up a photopass photog today (my wife threatened me not to yesterday since she gets furious when I talk business on vacation). Now I'm safe, and I'm extremely happy those hard-working folks are making a decent wage for the amount of hustling I saw them all doing yesterday in the Magic Kingdom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553278593406733377.post-87649478354307909442009-03-07T04:24:00.000-05:002009-03-07T04:24:00.000-05:00Dear John:What a great blog this is.
