NOW HIRING: Full-Time Brand Photographer — Fort Collins, CO

The Creative Agency, an award-winning full-service marketing and media firm, is hiring a full-time in-house photographer to join our team in Fort Collins. This is a rare opportunity to build a career inside one of the fastest-growing creative agencies in the country—working with national brands, lifestyle clients, and everything in between.

We’re not looking for a button pusher. We’re looking for a visual storyteller who understands branding, composition, mood, and message—and knows how to bring it all to life through the lens.

What You’ll Do:

• Concept, direct, and execute photo shoots for brands, products, portraits, editorials, lifestyle campaigns, and more
• Collaborate with our internal creative team to develop visuals that align with strategy and messaging
• Manage shoot prep, lighting, direction, editing, and delivery—start to finish
• Work across industries—from fashion to finance, from local luxury to national product lines
• Contribute to a fast-paced, vertically integrated creative team with full in-house video, design, web, and marketing services

What You Bring:

• A killer portfolio that spans brand photography, editorial, portrait, fashion, and lifestyle
• Expert-level technical skills: camera, lighting, post-processing
• A solid understanding of brand aesthetics and how photography supports marketing and storytelling
• Ability to adapt to different visual styles depending on the client and the campaign
• Strong organizational skills and reliability—we run a tight ship, and our clients expect excellence
• No ego. No drama. Just creative collaboration and consistent execution.

This is an on-site role based at our Fort Collins HQ. Local candidates only.

Why Work With Us:

• Nationally recognized agency, recently named one of the top creative firms in the U.S.
• Opportunity to grow your career while working with powerhouse brands
• Tight-knit, high-performing team that values creativity, integrity, and bold execution
• Access to top-tier equipment and studio space
• Competitive salary, benefits, and potential for leadership growth
