A Unique Opportunity
One of the unique aspects of living at Arches Vista is serving as the property's on-site host during occasional professional photography and video productions. Productions are coordinated by the owner, scheduled well in advance, and typically occur only 6 10 times per year.
Your role is simple: welcome the production team, provide access to the outdoor studio and designated production areas, and be available should minor questions or needs arise during the day.
You will receive compensation for every production you host. Compensation is based on the scope and duration of each shoot, providing an opportunity to earn income while living at Arches Vista.
This home is ideal for someone who appreciates the arts, enjoys meeting interesting people from time to time, and takes pride in caring for a truly special desert property.
