You will be involved in each project from conception to completion while collaborating with other SCAD departments. In this role, you will also help manage and obtain legal documents from shoots and vendors (i.e., permits, appearance releases), work alongside university resources for shoot setup and breakdown, assist with commissioning vendors for styling, organize shoot schedules and prepare call sheets, and other duties as needed.
