We’re a fast-growing clothing brand helping shorter men fee, and we’re looking for a creative partner to help define our visual identity online. This role begins as an independent contractor engagement. As the brand grows, there may be an opportunity to transition into a part-time or full-time employee position.

Responsibilities

Plan, shoot, and edit photography and video content for website, email, and social media channels.

Produce content in diverse settings, including studio shoots, documentary-style coverage, and lookbook/editorial campaigns.

Translate brand direction and strategy into compelling visual assets.

Manage projects from concept through post-production, ensuring timely delivery of high-quality work.

Maintain a consistent visual aesthetic aligned with brand identity and values.

Qualifications

Strong portfolio demonstrating skill in photography, videography, and editing.

Experience creating content for fashion, lifestyle, or consumer brands is a plus, but portfolio work from personal accounts, passion projects, or hobbyist content will also be considered.

Comfortable working across different creative environments (studio, lifestyle, documentary).

High level of taste with a strong eye for composition, lighting, and storytelling.

Understanding of social media platforms and content performance best practices.

Self-sufficient, organized, and able to manage projects independently.

Must provide core equipment, including camera, lenses, and editing setup. Supplemental items (studio space, lighting basics, props, etc.) may be provided.

Why Join Us

Opportunity to contribute at the ground stage of a growing clothing brand.

Direct influence on the creative direction of the brand’s visual identity.

A chance to help shape how the brand is seen culturally, not just visually.

Flexible, collaborative environment with room to experiment and grow.

Pay growth opportunities: While the role starts at $30–$40/hr, strong performance and deeper involvement with the brand may lead to higher rates or a transition to a part-time/full-time employee position with expanded compensation.
