Fine-Art Photographer - Luxury Women's Studio in London

What We Offer You

• A pure craft role: No sales. No editing. Your job is running three powerful shoots a day, every day.
• Structured 90‐day ramp: Close coaching, clear milestones, and a simple scorecard so you know exactly what "good" looks like.
• Ongoing development: Weekly gallery reviews, 1‐1s, and calibration sessions to refine your eye and your presence.
• Performance‐based career growth: All photographers start in our Junior band on £36,000 base. Hit clear quality and guest‐experience standards and you progress to Core Photographer at £40,000+ base and up to £48,000 OTE in your first year. As we grow, Seniors and Leads earn £45,000–£60,000 OTE.
• An all‐female floor team: Stylists, photographers, and leaders who genuinely want you to win.

What We Expect From You

• High work ethic (long days and regular weekends).
• Direct and pose everyday women with calm, grounded leadership so they feel safe, supported, and genuinely seen.
• Keep sets, wardrobe, gear, and the studio floor immaculate every shift.
• Log clear notes after every guest so the rest of the team can do their best work downstream.
• Engage fully in training: implement feedback, attend gallery reviews, and develop your craft weekly.
• Be a team player who makes the people around you better.

Results

• Run 3 high‐touch emotional sessions per day to our timing, gallery, and guest‐experience standards.
• Maintain gallery quality that gives each guest plenty of strong, saleable images to build artwork they're proud to live with.
• Keep your guest scores at or above studio baseline, with minimal re‐shoots and clean file hygiene.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in studio photography or weddings, ideally in intimate, boudoir, or luxury portrait environments.
• Confident directing and posing non‐models with empathy and emotional presence.
• Strong technical skills across exposure, focus, composition, and studio lighting.
• Excellent time management: able to run emotionally intense back‐to‐back sessions without rushing the guest.
• Open to learning and following a proven process before suggesting changes to it.

Location

• East London studio, in‐person only.
• Full‐time, five days per week including most weekends.

Compensation

• Starting band: Junior Photographer (all new hires start here while you learn our style and systems).
• Base salary: £36,000.
• On‐target earnings year 1: £40,000–£48,000 OTE (base salary plus quarterly performance bonus based on guest feedback, image quality, and reliability).
• Progression: Once you consistently hit our Core Photographer standards, your base rises to £40,000+ and your bonus potential increases. Our top performers then grow into Senior and Lead bands on £45,000–£60,000 OTE as the studio scales.

Due to the intimate nature of our work with female clients, this role has a genuine occupational requirement for female applicants under Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010.
