Filmmaker/Photographer for Cyprus Trail Running ExpeditionUrgent

Hi Hadi, this is Facundo from the Trip Operations team at LOAF.

At LOAF, we design small-group expeditions (around 14 participants) led by a recognised athlete, combining sports with the culture and landscape of a destination.
We’re putting together a trail running expedition in Cyprus, from Tochni to Kalopanagiotis, starting on 21 February 2027. It will be 5 or 7 nights, still to be confirmed. We’re looking for someone to document the week and would like to ask you for a quote.

Do you have experience in sports events? Please send us your portfolio

PHOTOGRAPHY

• Around 75 edited photos per day as a reference (it doesn’t need to be exact every day – what matters is the trip total: ~450 edited photos overall).
• Normal editing (selection and colour), no need for heavy retouching.
• Professional camera.
• Content: the group in full activity (running), landscapes, candid moments, meals and celebrations.

VIDEO (this is the part that matters most to us, so please prioritise it)

• Minimum 100 clips in total for the whole trip, shot with vertical format in mind (for stories and social media).
• You don’t need to send us edited clips: just sending us the raw clips from each day is enough, our editor will take care of the rest.
• A good iPhone or Android is fine, you don’t need a professional video camera – but if you have one, even better.
• One testimonial clip per guest on the first day: what are you expecting from this trip? or why are you doing this trip?
• One testimonial clip per guest at the end of their trip, in two moments: for the CORE group, this is on Day 5 (their last night); for the ULTRA group, this is on Day 7 (their last night). Ask: how are you feeling? what are you taking away from this trip?
• Trip film: an edited video, 3 to 5 minutes long, telling the full story of the experience from start to finish.
• Use of the material: social media, ads and website.
• Do you work with drones? Not a requirement, but we’d like to know if that’s an option for you.

PRESENCE DURING THE TRIP

• We need you with the group all day. Mornings are full running sessions, and some days also have activities or special moments in the afternoon/evening.
• Must-capture moments: the welcome gathering on Day 1, when the group meets and starts to bond, and the farewell moments – Day 5 evening for the core group (before they depart on Day 6) and Day 7 evening for the extended group (before they depart on Day 8).

LOGISTICS AND PROFILE

• Where exactly do you live/are you based? This helps us plan the logistics for this trip properly. Living in the area or nearby is also a plus for logistics.
• Ideally you’d have your own transport to move between points and reach the group (running or during the different activities, lunches included). If you don’t have your own transport, please let us know, as we’d need to arrange a rental car or motorbike (do you hold a driving licence?).
• If you’re able to run parts of the route with the guests, even better – that way you can capture moments in areas that aren’t accessible by vehicle. If you can’t, we’ll plan for you to drive as far as a vehicle can go, then continue on foot to the points where the guests will be passing, in order to capture the content.
• We’re looking for a single photographer/videographer to cover the whole trip. If you can’t deliver the video part, are you ok with us contacting Nikolas? We loved his work as well as yours.

QUOTE

• Please quote only your fee as photographer/videographer, per day.
• Trip expenses (transport, meals, accommodation if applicable) are covered separately by us, so there’s no need to include them in your rate.

Happy to answer any questions about the itinerary or the type of coverage.

Best regards
