Crummiest ad for a photographer I have ever seen

This was posted on Craigs List in NYC.  They are looking for a photographer willing to live in poverty. Great job. No experienced photographers need apply. No "angry" photographers need apply. No outside work allowed. Unbelievable.  Here is the ad:

Photography PARTNER (Midtown)

We are a small, award-winning design agency and we are looking for a new photography partner with studio and location-lighting experience/knowledge.

An upbeat personality, reliability and the ability to work well with people is critical. You will also need to be available on weekends and/or nights for restaurant and/or club shoots. This will be YOUR department, so you need to offer the commitment, professionalism and drive to build it up from scratch.

We are NOT seeking someone that starts the conversation with us by asking about photo rights. Our clients own the shots. We are not fine art photographers…

We are also NOT seeking a photographer that is angry because photography doesn’t pay these days. Our focus will be on candidates that understand their relationship with camera is one of love/joy/infatuation. The right candidate is willing to do whatever is necessary to create a solid practice within an ad agency (like ours.)

In that light, we are not interested in discussions with established photographers that have twenty years of experience. As noted – our clients are not willing to pay for that level of experience. These are commercial jobs with small budgets.

You are a great photographer (both in-studio and on-location) and you have the work samples to prove it! Ideal candidates will also have extensive post-production experience with Adobe PhotoShop and excellent retouching skills.

Please note that this is a partner position and compensation is less than $150 per shoot (including post-production.) If you don’t have a secondary means of support (or extremely low living expenses), then this probably isn’t a good match.

QUALIFICATIONS:
•Photography or art major.
•Two years of shooting digital with a working knowledge of artificial lighting and thorough understanding of studio equipment.
•Proficiency in digital imaging systems, the use and operation of DIGITAL cameras, Internet applications, Web, FTP, image formats, Windows/PC computer systems and various software programs, including but not limited to Adobe Photoshop, Word, and Outlook.
•Strong organizational and communication skills—both written and verbal.
•SOLID retouching skills are a must!
•Individual must be organized, self-motivated, energetic and entrepreneurial
•Positive attitude, enthusiasm and willingness to do what it takes to get the job done.


Please send a link to your portfolio along with your resume.

We DO NOT OUTSOURCE! Please be located in the NYC area. THIS MEANS: MANHATTAN or the BOROUGHS.
Also note: once you join us a partner and equity holder, you will NOT be able to do outside (freelance or otherwise) print or branding work. You CAN bring it in-house and receive most of the revenue from the project, but partners may NOT compete with the agency.
