Er, not really. I think the definition of a job includes pay:
This a voluntary position which means that you will be asked to pay for your own flight and expenses. Whether you can only offer one week or multiple weeks over the year, we’d be happy to hear from you.
This is an amazing opportunity to develop your portfolio and have a great time in the process. We need you to have your own digital equipment and require the photography to be of a good standard so it can be used in various fundraising and marketing materials. Please note that we work with vulnerable children and youth and require that all photographs be in line with child protection policies.

How can this possibly go wrong?

I can not believe it! And still photographers should thank them as this is a great opportunity to develop their portfolios. Really? Amazing!
Actually this really upsets me. No wonder people question photographers ethical viewpoints when people, who should seriously know better are asking them to participate in a joy ride around ‘vulnerable children’.
Ben leave Jodi Beiber and her work alone, really. She is a photographer that has shot a beautiful portrait of an inhumane act, I don’t believe she went in there with an idea it was going to be a picnic and she would walk away with a WPP winning shot.
Pick on the guys that advertised this instead, at least Jodi is a working professional not someone on a holiday (as you would imagine if you are paying your own way) off to shoot some ‘war-porn’ la-de-da…
