Creative Experience Manager (Photography & Videography) in Hull

InstaShoot is a modern photography and videography platform under the Humanity Ventures group, designed to connect clients with skilled creatives for professional results. Specializing in projects such as real estate, weddings, corporate events, and personal branding, InstaShoot ensures seamless and affordable bookings.

The Creative Experience Manager is the on-site ambassador of our new brand and the owner of the client experience from first briefing to post-delivery follow-up. This role goes far beyond image capture — it combines creative direction, client relationship management, and five-star service delivery.

Creative Experience Managers are trusted to represent the brand with calm authority, discretion, and professionalism, while delivering high-quality photo and video content aligned with each client's brief. They operate comfortably in high-end, luxury environments and understand the expectations of premium, discerning clients.

Culture, Values & Way of Working (Humanity Ventures)

Humanity Ventures is a purpose-driven group built on excellence, meaning, and service. We believe that outstanding creative work comes from grounded, present, emotionally intelligent professionals. Our culture integrates professionalism with depth — combining technical mastery, human sensitivity, and a strong sense of purpose.

Creative Experience Managers are expected to:

• Be comfortable in a high-end, opulent, five-star luxury context
• Understand and embody refined service codes similar to premium hospitality, private members' clubs, or luxury hotels
• Work with calm confidence, presence, and discretion
• Respect and align with a culture that values inner balance as much as external excellence

As part of Humanity Ventures, team members are invited (and encouraged) to participate in an annual off-site retreat, which includes elements such as reflection, mindfulness, and yoga. This retreat supports wellbeing, alignment, and long-term performance. It is an integral part of our culture, and candidates should feel comfortable in an environment where spirituality is present, inclusive, and grounded — never dogmatic.

This role therefore suits individuals who are:

• Emotionally mature
• Comfortable with depth, stillness, and responsibility
• At ease delivering luxury service with meaning

Core Responsibilities (Shared – Photo & Video)

• Own the end-to-end client experience for each booking
• Review and understand each client brief in advance
• Arrive prepared with all equipment, iPad, and materials
• Conduct a short pre-shoot conversation to align expectations
• Guide clients with confidence (poses, framing, pacing, tone)
• Create a calm, welcoming, and professional atmosphere on site
• Deliver a five-star, hospitality-level experience
• Represent InstaShoot with impeccable conduct and presentation
• Capture content that is on-brand, intentional, and technically sound
• Upload previews or selections promptly via the platform
• Request and log client feedback post-shoot
• Flag follow-ups, rebookings, or client preferences
• Maintain discretion, confidentiality, and emotional intelligence at all times

Creative Experience Manager (Photography)

Additional Photo-Specific Duties

• Direct clients through poses, expressions, and compositions
• Adapt lighting and framing to suit people, spaces, and brand needs
• Capture a broad, intentional selection of images (not random shooting)
• Ensure consistent exposure, colour, and composition standards
• Deliver clean, well-organised photo files ready for editing workflow

Creative Experience Manager (Videography)

Additional Video-Specific Duties

• Guide clients through on-camera presence and movement
• Capture purposeful sequences for storytelling, not just clips
• Manage audio, lighting, and framing with professional standards
• Film with editing in mind (continuity, pacing, variety)
• Deliver well-labelled footage suitable for fast turnaround

Professional Standards & Behaviour

• Act as a trusted partner, not a technician
• Maintain punctuality, reliability, and composure under pressure
• Uphold new brand's luxury service and safeguarding standards
• Communicate clearly with clients and internal teams
• Protect the brand through exemplary behaviour on every booking

Success in This Role Looks Like

• Clients feel guided, reassured, and genuinely cared for
• Shoots run smoothly, calmly, and on time
• Content meets InstaShoot quality standards consistently
• Clients return, rebook, and recommend
• InstaShoot is remembered for its professionalism, warmth, and elevated presence

Who This Role Is Not For

This role is not suitable for individuals who:

• Prefer a purely technical or transactional approach to creative work
• Are uncomfortable operating in high-end, luxury environments or with discerning, premium clients
• Do not enjoy client-facing roles that require presence, emotional intelligence, and discretion
• Feel uneasy with a company culture that values reflection, mindfulness, and personal alignment alongside performance
• Are looking for a fast, casual, or informal working style rather than polished, composed, five-star service delivery

This role suits professionals who take pride in how they show up, not only in what they produce.

Luxury Dress Code & Professional Presence

Creative Experience Managers represent InstaShoot and Humanity Ventures in environments that often mirror five-star hotels, private residences, premium brands, and high-profile clients. As such, a refined professional appearance is essential. Expectations include:

• Elegant, understated attire appropriate for luxury hospitality standards
• Neutral, timeless colour palettes (black, navy, beige, grey, white)
• Clean, well-fitted clothing that allows movement while maintaining polish
• Excellent personal grooming and hygiene at all times
• Discreet accessories; no visible logos, slogans, or casual streetwear
• Calm body language, confident posture, and composed communication

Presence matters as much as technical skill. Clients should immediately feel they are in the hands of someone trusted, capable, and refined.
