Job description

Our in-house creative studio produces all e-commerce, campaign and video content across Monsoon, Accessorize and EAST, including Monsoon Kids and Accessorize Angels, as well as supplying assets to third-party retail partners and marketplaces. This is a hybrid shooting role for someone equally confident behind a tethered stills camera and capturing fast, social-first content on the day. You'll deliver high-volume, premium-quality product and model photography to a consistent brand standard, and turn the same shoot days into the short-form video, stills and behind-the-scenes content that feeds our social, email and digital channels. It suits a photographer who thinks in content, not just frames - someone who can hold the technical discipline of e-commerce while spotting and capturing the moments that make a channel feel alive.

Photography

• Shoot on-model, still life and cut-out product photography across all brands and categories to agreed brand standards, lighting set-ups and technical specifications.
• Deliver consistently to daily shot targets without compromising quality, working within the studio's critical path from sample-in to asset-live.
• Set up, maintain and adapt lighting rigs, sets and camera systems; ensure colour accuracy, exposure consistency and correct capture settings across every shoot day.
• Manage tethered capture, file naming, ingest and hand-off to retouch, keeping the asset pipeline clean and traceable.
• Support campaign and seasonal shoots alongside the Senior Photographer/Videographer, both in studio and on location.
• Ensure output meets the differing technical specs required by our own sites, marketplaces and third-party retail partners.
• Capture social-first content on shoot days - short-form video, motion, detail, styling and behind-the-scenes - to briefs agreed with the Creative and Social teams.
• Self-shoot and self-edit reactive, trend-led content for Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest, working at the pace those channels demand.
• Edit and grade video content to brand guidelines, delivering in the correct formats, ratios and specs for each channel and placement.
• Contribute ideas to content planning - proposing formats, treatments and set-ups that make product work harder across organic and paid.
• Help maintain consistency between campaign imagery, e-comm and social so that all channels feel like one brand.

Studio and workflow

• Work to the studio shoot schedule, flagging risks to timings, samples or delivery early.
• Take care of studio kit - cameras, lighting, grip, capture stations - reporting faults and keeping equipment shoot-ready.
• Support sample management on set, working with stylists to keep product tracked, protected and returned.
• Contribute to process improvement, including the adoption of AI imaging and production tools where they improve speed or consistency.
• Support and guide junior team members and freelancers on set.

Collaboration

• Work closely with stylists, hair and make-up, models and retouchers to keep shoot days efficient and on-brief.
• Take direction from the Creative Leads and interpret briefs, mood boards and art direction accurately.
• Build strong working relationships with Digital, Merchandising, Social and Marketing to understand what each channel needs.

Desirable

• Experience shooting kidswear or working with child models.
• Experience producing assets for marketplaces or third-party retail partners.
• Basic retouching skills.
• Motion, stop-frame or animation experience.
• Interest in AI imaging tools and their application in a studio workflow.

What good looks like

• Premium, brand-right images delivered on time, every time - with no drop in quality on day three of a shoot block.
• An eye that spots the extra shot: the detail, the movement, the moment that becomes the best-performing piece of social content that week.
• Calm, unflappable presence on set, whoever is in front of the camera.
• Ownership of your own output - you check your own work, and you flag problems before they become delays.

Competitive salary

• 23 days holiday with the option to purchase additional holiday through our salary sacrifice scheme
• Bonus day off each year after 6 months service
• A pension that you will automatically be enrolled in after 3 months
• Life assurance (subject to participating in the pension scheme)
• A flexible working approach
• Early pay day Friday finish
• A generous staff discount with up to 50% discount on our products
• Interest free season ticket loans
• Additional discounts such as Westfield discount, Taste card membership etc
