Photographer (12 months FTC)

Our story began with one man and his vision; to bring vibrant, colourful, hand-crafted artisan clothes from faraway places to the markets of London. It is a journey that started on a hippy commune in Ibiza, 1970, and finished with an overland trip east, through Afghanistan and India. Now found in West London, we’re creating vibrant products, and sharing endless discovery.

We are now looking for a Photographer to join our Studio team on a 12 month FTC covering a maternity leave. Working alongside the Senior Photographer and the wider Studio team you will be responsible for executing still-life photography for our brands, ensuring the shots you produce are of a high quality and meet the visual identity of the brands and commercial KPIs.

• Shooting products to a high standard across model and non-model sets, predominantly for Accessorize but supporting Monsoon and East where required.
• Responsible for creation, maintenance, and communication of shoot guides from a photography perspective for the Accessorize brand.
• Maintain sets, ensuring all photographic equipment is in working order, reporting any damaged items that need repair.
• Shoot all products in accordance with the style guidelines.
• Notify the Senior Photographer / Photography Manager of any consumables that require ordering.
• Provide support to Junior Photographers on a day-to-day basis.
• Leading and contributing to team and departmental meetings.
• Build strong, professional, and collaborative relationships with the wider studio team.
• Any other ad-hoc tasks and projects defined by the Studio Manager.

• An ability to direct models in a clear and cohesive manner, and guide models who are not as strong as others in order to achieve a successful shooting day.
• Excellent communication skills.
• Self-motivated, positive, and hard-working.
• Ability to work within a team, excelling under pressure with a flexible attitude.

What will we offer you in return?
