Photographer for Children's Co-Design Project
Gather Foundation
Estimated Time: 20 - 25 Hours Over 8 - 10 Weeks
Gather Foundation empowers Ōtautahi’s tamariki to be meaningfully involved in the design outdoor environments of their schools, neighbourhoods and communities. We are looking for an experienced photographer to record the first of our three projects in schools for 2023, on Fridays 11am-12.30pm for about 8 weeks (excluding school holidays) 3 March - mid May 2023. The final session will likely include a Saturday for a few hours. Gather Foundation offers curriculum-aligned, co-design programmes to create outdoor structures and environments, at no cost to schools. We work alongside tamariki aged 5-12 and our programmes are available to Ōtautahi primary schools who need support to improve their outdoor environments. We also work predominantly with low decile schools. This is one of our 3 pilot projects and we have limited funds. Evocative imagery has been key to recording our impact so we're keen to work with someone with skills to document the value of our projects effectively.

Proposed project steps with time estimates
The project will involve photographing children carrying out tasks at the school based on various stages of the design process. These activities are yet to be determined but will run for a max of 1.5 hours each session. There will be one final session, which is likely to be slightly longer (possibly 2.5 hours). This will involve whānau, family members and wider community.
