Hello there, community!
It seems to me like I need your help and will be grateful for any recommendations. Relocating is a stress and job searching even bigger.
I'm moving to the US for a O1 working visa and looking for a job. About me: I am a photographer with 8 years experience, working in directions - portraits, fashion, advertising, jewelery, food, interiors and the last 3 years of weddings (Italy) and models portfolio (Russia and France) I work in Russia, Italy, France, Hungary, Lithuania, Spain, Malaysia and Morocco and write for several travel and lifestyle magazines.
Ideally, part time or contract terms, but I will happily consider the full time. Location - Portland, Oregon. But any state and city works for me, if my presence is not needed daily. Flights and long journeys are not a deal.
Portfolio: www.orlovamaria.com Or write to me if you need more info/works/publications/proofs
If you are looking for a photographer in your team or know the cool companies that have been looking for such a person - please let me know!
*o1 visa does NOT require sponsorship.
I thank everyone who read this!
Hello, I understand everything that your going through. I will try my hardest to help you. I live on the central coaste of California and will look around. That's what this post is all about
What can I say? You are a well-traveled professional. You call your own shots (No pun intended)! What I can suggest may be pedestrian, but have you tried looking for work on indeed.com?
Perfect if you could get a little place and or contact schools in your desired area about portrait s you could get work also pet pictures are going to be the new fad our secrets you can do this.
Creating your own business would be a worthy endeavor. Even that might entail traveling. I would say be confident in your ability. God bless.

Hi Maria - I don't have Ashley's experience with photography, but I looked at your portfolio, and the photos are beautiful. I know you'll make it! Good luck.
Hi Maria! Welcome to Jobcase : ) I am also a wedding photographer. Your work is beautiful! I would love to shoot in all the gorgeous locations you went to my goodness. So...you could do a few things! You could apply to work for [George Street Photo] (https://www.georgestreetphoto.com/about/careers) and they have many locations and are always hiring, you could also apply to [Pretty Instant] (https://www.prettyinstant.com/forms/apply) which is a fastpaced, but a really engaging company, OR you could advertise with Weddingwire or the Knot and sell your services all on your own. Wishing you the best, please keep me posted!
