I- Pioneer photography team

Dear TPC members and non members, 

Taylors is lauching I-PIONEER campaign, 

I-PIONEER , is a 3 months campaign launched by Student Development Hub (SDH)  aiming to encourage students to create new active clubs and also promoting existing club to create more events. This has come into our interests as every club is required to submit photos of their events to SDH.

That is the background story, 

The main point here is that SDH is looking for photographers from TPC for these 3 months time to cover ALL of the events in regards of this I-PIONEER campaign. (again it is first come first serve basis)

Regarding about payment, Taylors does not have budget for photographer, however. I believe that you are aware that this is a great opportunity for practice and get a taste of event covering tasks.

However, I am sorry to tell you that we have to limit these opportunities to DSLR users, 
This is due to DSLR is an pre-requisite to cover events, and also covering events do require a certain mastery of basic photography.

So whoever is interested in covering events, please do take initiative and contact Boon 017-554 7576 or our Event Management Team director, Rusydie 013-209 5475
OR you can email to Taylorsphotographyclub@gmail.com if you have any questions or doubt.
