Job description

More Than Beautiful Pictures Anyone can buy a camera. Not everyone knows how to tell a story with one. At TwoMedia, we don't create content for the sake of filling social feeds. We create imagery that builds brands. Sometimes that's a campaign shoot for an automotive launch. Sometimes it's a fashion collection. Sometimes it's capturing the personality of a founder or documenting a brand in a way that feels completely authentic. Photography and film aren't separate disciplines anymore. They're part of the same conversation. We're looking for someone who instinctively understands light, composition, movement and emotion. Someone who can direct people with confidence, adapt quickly, solve problems on set and deliver work that feels intentional rather than manufactured. If you're the kind of person who notices the quality of light before you notice the room, we'd love to meet you.

The Role

As our Visual Storyteller, you'll be responsible for creating photography and video content across a diverse range of brands and industries. You'll work alongside strategists, designers, copywriters and account directors to bring campaigns to life through authentic visual storytelling. Some shoots will be carefully planned productions. Others will require you to think on your feet with minimal equipment and even tighter timelines. You'll be involved from concept through to delivery, helping shape ideas before a camera is even picked up. This role requires creativity, technical ability and the confidence to lead people on set.

What You'll Be Doing

• Plan and execute commercial photography shoots.
• Capture and edit video content for digital and social platforms.
• Direct talent and help people feel comfortable in front of the camera.
• Work with the creative team to develop visual concepts.
• Produce content across lifestyle, product, corporate and campaign environments.
• Edit photography to a consistently high standard.
• Edit short- and long-form video content.
• Capture behind-the-scenes content during productions.
• Prepare assets for digital advertising, websites and social media.
• Manage photography and video equipment.
• Stay up to date with new production techniques, AI tools and emerging creative technologies.

What We're Looking For

• 3-5 years' experience producing commercial photography and video.
• A portfolio that demonstrates storytelling, not simply technical ability.
• Strong understanding of lighting, composition and colour.
• Excellent communication and people skills.
• Confidence directing talent on set.
• Strong organisational skills.
• Comfortable working independently while collaborating closely with the wider creative team.
• Calm under pressure and able to adapt when things don't go to plan.
• A genuine passion for creating meaningful visual content.

Technical Skills

You should have strong experience with: Commercial photography. Videography. Camera operation. Natural and studio lighting. Audio recording. Adobe Lightroom. Adobe Photoshop. Adobe Premiere Pro.

Experience with the following would be highly advantageous:

• DaVinci Resolve.
• Adobe After Effects.
• Drone operation (licensed where applicable).
• Gimbal operation.
• Capture One.
• Colour grading.
• Sound design.
• Multi-camera productions.
• Runway.
• Kling.
• Veo.
• Leonardo AI.
• ChatGPT.
• AI-assisted video production.

Bonus Points Not essential, but we'd love to see experience with:

• Automotive photography.
• Fashion campaigns.
• Luxury brands.
• Food and hospitality.
• Documentary storytelling.
• Creative direction.
• Storyboarding.
• Producing social-first content.
• Working with influencers and creators.
• Managing productions from concept through delivery.

Culture Fit

Great productions are built on trust. Clients trust you to represent their brand. Talent trusts you to make them look their best. Your team trusts you to capture the moments everyone else misses.

• Is naturally curious.
• Notices the details.
• Communicates calmly under pressure.
• Enjoys collaborating with others.
• Is proactive and resourceful.
• Brings positive energy to every shoot.
• Takes ownership of their work.
• Gives and receives feedback openly.
• Is always refining their craft.

We're an office-first agency because creativity thrives through collaboration. While you'll spend plenty of time on location, we also believe the strongest ideas are developed together. We value people who contribute beyond the shoot itself and enjoy being part of the creative process from beginning to end.

Why TwoMedia?

We're building an agency where ideas don't stop at strategy decks. They become campaigns, films, photography, brands and experiences that people remember. You'll work across ambitious local and international brands, collaborate with talented creatives from multiple disciplines and have the opportunity to shape the visual language of an agency that's constantly evolving.
