RiseWorks Crew
Shoot for the helpers.
RiseWorks Crew is a vetted directory of freelance videographers and photographers. Mission-driven organizations browse it when they need someone behind the camera.
One directory
Videographers and photographers sit side by side. Both disciplines carry the same weight here.
One profile
Your samples, your specialties, your city. Kept current by you, searchable by the organizations looking for it.
One standard
Every assignment gets the same craft, and every subject gets informed consent and dignity on set.
Why join
What being listed gets you.
Paid assignments
Crew work is paid work. Scope and terms are settled before a shoot day is booked.
Work worth putting your name on
Programs in the field and the people who run them. These are stories that reward patience and a good eye.
Clients with a mission
Nonprofits, foundations, and research organizations use StoryOS to tell their stories. Crew is how they find the people to shoot them.
Pro bono, if you want it
You can opt in to pro bono assignments from your profile, and turn it off whenever you like. It stays your call.
The path in
How vetting works.
Apply
Tell us who you are, where you shoot, and what you shoot. It is a short form.
Build your profile
Add your work samples, your disciplines, your home base, and how far you travel. Your profile is what an organization reads before it reaches out, so give it real footage and real frames.
Get reviewed
We watch and read every submission. We look for craft, reliability, and care with the people in front of the lens.
Get listed
Approved crew appear in the directory. Organizations browse by discipline, home base, and how far you travel, favorite the people they want on their next shoot, and reach out directly.
Straight talk
Where we are right now.
RiseWorks is early. You should know that before you apply.
- A small number of organizations run their storytelling on StoryOS today. We are building the directory ahead of the demand it will serve.
- We make no promise about how much work reaches you, or how often. Anyone who tells a freelancer otherwise at this stage is guessing.
- The reason to join now is the quality of the work and a place in the directory while it is still small.
- Your profile stays yours. Edit your samples, your coverage, and your pro bono setting whenever you want.
