About the Business

Our client is a fast-growing performance apparel brand that has quickly established itself within the UK market through innovative product design, premium content and a strong digital-first approach.

With an ambitious growth strategy and an expanding creative function, the business continues to invest heavily in its in-house studio, producing high-quality eCommerce, campaign and social content that supports both brand and commercial objectives.

The Role

We are looking for a Midweight Photographer to join an expanding in-house creative studio, producing premium photography across eCommerce, campaigns and social content.

This is a hands-on role where approximately 60% of your time will focus on eCommerce photography, with the remaining time supporting campaign, marketing and brand projects. Working alongside Creative, Studio and Marketing teams, you'll help deliver engaging imagery that elevates the brand whilst maintaining the pace required within a fast-moving retail environment.

This role would suit someone with a strong creative eye who combines excellent technical ability with commercial awareness. You'll understand how lighting, composition and storytelling can transform product imagery and will be passionate about continually raising creative standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Produce high-quality photography for eCommerce, campaign and brand marketing projects.

• Deliver premium on-model and product imagery across apparel and accessories.

• Create engaging content for website, paid social, organic social and wider marketing channels.

• Work closely with photographers, creatives, stylists, videographers and marketing teams to deliver integrated campaigns.

• Manage all aspects of studio and location photography, including lighting, composition and camera settings.

• Retouch, colour grade and prepare imagery to a premium commercial standard.

• Maintain consistency across all photography, ensuring brand guidelines and creative standards are met.

• Organise photography equipment, studio space and digital asset libraries.

• Support shoot planning, production logistics and location preparation where required.

• Keep up to date with photography trends, creative techniques and visual culture to continually improve creative output.

Skills & Experience

• 3-5 years' commercial photography experience.

• Strong portfolio showcasing fashion, sportswear, lifestyle or apparel photography.

• Experience working within a fast-paced retail or eCommerce environment.

• Excellent understanding of studio and location lighting techniques.

• Strong knowledge of Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom and Capture One.

• Confident with retouching, colour grading and post-production workflows.

• Experience photographing movement, performance or lifestyle imagery would be advantageous.

• Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.

• Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach.

About You

You'll be a creative photographer who enjoys balancing technical excellence with commercial objectives. Comfortable working at pace, you'll be equally confident shooting high-volume eCommerce imagery as you are contributing to creative campaign work.

You'll bring fresh ideas, a strong eye for lighting and composition, and a genuine passion for producing premium visual content. You'll thrive in a collaborative environment, take ownership of your work and be motivated by helping elevate the creative output of an ambitious, growing brand.
