We are currently excepting resumes for sub-contract photographers.

The second statement negates the first.

That is why we screen our photographers reviewing their work before contacting them They have training to make sure they are doing the finest job possible. I figured stock photographers would be a great choice to find someone. But thank you for your input.

I meant, obviously, that "excepting resumes" makes no possible sense, so your spelling is nowhere near five-star. And you didn't even notice when it was pointed out.
(Trust me, I'm a typo queen. But I never claim to be "5* in everything I do".)
And in case you still don't 'get it', you should have written, "accepting r�sum�s"

This is a good opportunity for someone to make some money that needs it

wow i am not getting this mockery. seems like a fair offer to me.  people are ok to shoot in their own time and then sell an image for 25 cent but then complain 350 dollar day rate is not good enough. if i had the time id definitely be applying.

Hmmm,
1. When someone claims to be 5* in all they do, then immediately proves that not to be the case, amber lights flash. (BTW, there's also a redundant apostrophe in the OP, "we make sure our client�s receive the highest-quality imagery.")
2. When they are sarcastic, and don't make things right when it's pointed out, loud warning bells sound about the way they might deal with associates.
3. Their day rate sounds OK to me, but I'm not in the US. However, the peevish and ungrammatical "This is a good opportunity for someone to make some money that needs it." (what does "money that needs it" mean?) sounds like they know it's below the going rate and they're targetting 'the needy'.

are you really suggesting not to trust them over spelling mistakes?

It's just a first amber light, like I said.

It gives a poor first impression of a company, that we have no previous experience of, which has arrived here looking for a professional partnership. It wasn't just someone rushing off a normal msg post.

It undermines their claim to be "5* in everything they do"(there are other spelling/grammar errors in the OP, I just pointed out the most egregious). The attitude when it was pointed out was ignorant (both literally and as used in the vernacular). Someone employed to communicate should have the necessary skills, in the same way as they want to someone a photographer with appropriate skills.

In the OP, it says "We only use our own hotel photographers" but also, "We are currently looking for sub-contract photographers.", which is contradictory.

Anyone thinking of taking this up should get their lawyer to fine tooth-comb their contract.

The day rate sounds good to me too, especially with the extras.

Your grammar is much better than many native English speakers'.
