The Opportunity

Are you passionate about fashion photography and love being behind the scenes bringing great product and creative ideas to life? Then we've got the role for you! 

We’re looking for a Photography Assistant to join our Creative team at our Support Office in Eagle Farm. Reporting to our Creative Production Manager, and working closely with our wider Creative and eCommerce teams, you’ll play an important role in creating the imagery our customers see across our Universal Store and Perfect Stranger brands.

This is a hands-on role where no two days look quite the same. You’ll work across high-volume eCommerce photography, weekly shoots, campaigns and social content, getting involved in everything from lighting, tethering and shoot coordination through to image selection, retouching and final delivery. You’ll combine your technical photography skills with a strong creative eye to make sure every image is polished, on-brand and ready to go.

Key responsibilities include:

• Supporting major campaigns, weekly shoots, eCommerce and social content across our brands
• Providing junior graphic design support across photo editing, etching and other creative requirements
• Keeping our studio, equipment and workflow organised and shoot-ready
• Looking for smarter and more efficient ways to improve our photography and creative processes
