Knox LAC is seeking Knox parents or family members who might be interested in being a photographer at our weekly competition.

Knox LAC has a reputation of having fantastic photos of our athletes as they compete during the year.

If you are interested in becoming one of our photographers for the remainder of the season please contact Dave Kearsley KLAC President via email – president@klac23.org.au

The Centre likes to have at least 3 photographers rostered on each week, this ensures that we capture as many of the kids as possible. It is a rewarding role and gets you close to the action. It is a duty role for the Centre and counts towards your club duty.

Please note:
This is a Volunteer role and you must have working with children check.
The Centre requires that essential duty roles are filled first. As a photographer you may be asked to by your club to undertake essential duty roles first and undertake photography on weeks you are not rostered for other duty roles.

KLAC photographers use their own equipment. The centre does not provide equipment nor does it insure photographers using their equipment. Photographers use their equipment at their own risk.
