Looking for a photographer to capture our participation at this year’s Marine Corps Marathon, 2015.
Photographer skills required can range from hobby to professional. TAPS will have nearly 350 runners running in memory of fallen service-members at this event, in which we'd like to capture as many photos as possible to provide for our runners after the event concludes. These runners fundraise for us so we want to enhance their experience by making race day photos available.
Good photos are then used in our quarterly magazine, eNewsletters, Facebook page and future promotional items and brochures. Tasks and requirements include:
1. Consulting with TAPS Staff to determine needs based on end use and budget.
2. Have knowledge of techniques, principles and equipment of modern photography.
3. Knowledge of film properties and their suitability for generalized and specialized photography.

PEER SUPPORT FOR BEREAVED SURVIVORS
TAPS was founded on the principles of best practices in peer-based emotional support for bereaved survivors. Today, TAPS provides care to over 100,000 grieving military family members using these best practices. Peer support gives those who have had a unique experience or who are facing a personal challenge the framework to connect with others who share that experience or challenge. Peer support happens in individual and group settings. By the simple act of knowing they are not alone in their experience and realizing that other have overcome similar challenges, peers find validation, normalization, and ultimately, a sense of hopefulness.
TAPS is a national nonprofit 501(c)3 Veterans Service Organization and has a four-star rating on Charity Navigator.
