Photo and Video Documentation Specialist… at IIRR · Philippin…

The International Institute of Rural Reconstruction (IIRR) seeks development professionals who are interested in a short-term consultancy with an international organization. Qualified women are encouraged to apply.

General Description

We are seeking an individual or a small creative team to produce a set of short videos and a curated photo and video library that tell the LLRSM story from launch to results, for use in project reporting, knowledge products, and communications.

Specific objectives:

1. Introduce the LLRSM project to partners and the public through a short project teaser.
2. Document four key events in photos and video – the project launch, central kitchen operations and the feeding cycle, harvest and delivery, and the learning exchange – showing each stage of the farm-to-school chain.
3. Capture short testimonies from farmers, cooperative members, kitchen staff, teachers, parents, and partners, with attention to women's participation and GESI.
4. Produce a final project video that presents the project's key findings and accomplishments for dissemination to government, development partners, and the public.
5. Build a curated, captioned, and consent-cleared photo and video library for the case studies, outcome stories, National Scaling Blueprint, Final Report, and donor reporting.

Scope of Work and Activities:
The main activities of the consultant will include:

• Attend a briefing with the IIRR project team and prepare a Documentation Plan with a shot list, interview guide, and schedule for each event, aligned with the project's key messages and knowledge products.
• Produce the project teaser using footage shot during the launch mission (farms, schools, central kitchen sites, community life) and relevant IIRR archive materials.
• Cover the project launch, central kitchen operations and feeding cycle, harvest and delivery, and learning exchange with professional photo and video equipment, including still photos, B-roll, and audio-clear interviews. Drone footage is optional and allowed only with the necessary permits and site permissions.
• For the project launch, deliver 10–15 quick-edit photos within 24 hours for social media and press releases.
• Conduct short, on-camera testimonies (1–3 minutes each) with farmers, cooperative members, kitchen staff, teachers, parents, and partners, in Filipino or Tagalog with English subtitles.
• Edit each event video and a 30–60 second vertical reel, using IIRR-approved branding, partner logos, and licensed or royalty-free music.
• Co-develop the script and storyboard for the final project video with IIRR, based on key findings and accomplishments provided by the project team. Produce the final video from footage gathered across all events, with simple data graphics, and a short cut-down for social media. One day of pickup shots or interviews may be scheduled if needed.
• Select, edit, and caption photos (date, location, activity, and role of persons shown), and organize all files using an agreed folder and naming system.
• Collect and file signed consent and image release forms for all identifiable persons, using IIRR's forms, before any material is delivered.
• Revise each video based on one round of consolidated IIRR comments (two rounds for the teaser and the final project video), and compile the final photo and video library at the end of the contract.

Requirements:

• At least 3 years of professional experience in photo and video documentation, preferably for development organizations, government agencies, or community-based programmes.
• A portfolio showing documentary-style work on agriculture, food, schools, or rural communities.
• Own professional equipment: camera(s), lenses, external audio (lapel or shotgun microphones), and stabilizer. A drone and a licensed operator are an advantage.
• Strong editing skills (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, Lightroom), including subtitling and basic motion graphics.
• Experience filming children and communities under child protection and informed consent rules.
• Ability to deliver quick-turnaround outputs during events and to meet agreed deadlines.
• Fluency in Filipino/Tagalog and English. Familiarity with Quezon Province is an advantage.
