Junior Photographer

Job Summary Our client is looking for a hands-on Junior Product Photographer & Videographer to join our in-house marketing team in Swindon and build the complete visual library for our catalogue of up to 25,000 SKUs . Every part needs high-definition photography and video, shot to a consistent standard — and you'll be the person who makes that happen, working from our purpose-built on-site studio.

This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who wants real ownership from day one. You don't need years of experience — you need a good eye, solid technical fundamentals and the drive to work 'll train you on our house style, our workflow and our kit.

Key Responsibilities Photograph our product range in-studio to a consistent, high-definition standard — white-background e-commerce shots, packaging, detail and macro images. Shoot and edit short-form product video in HD, including 360° spins, detail pans and simple fitment or demonstration clips for our website, marketplaces and social channels. Work through the catalogue systematically to an agreed daily target, following a defined shot list of typically 4–8 images per SKU.

Retouch and batch-process images in Photoshop and Lightroom — colour correction, cropping, clipping paths and background clean-up to house standard. Export assets to the correct specifications for web, marketplace and print, following our file naming and metadata conventions exactly. Book in, handle, prepare and return product samples, keeping the studio tidy, safe and shoot-ready at all times. Maintain an accurate shot tracker so the wider team can see which SKUs are complete, pending or blocked.

Support the marketing team with wider photography and video content for campaigns, events and exhibitions when required. Look after studio kit — basic cleaning, card and battery management, and flagging any faults early.

Skills:

Confident with a DSLR or mirrorless camera in full manual — aperture, shutter, ISO, white balance and focus. A working understanding of studio lighting — key, fill and rim, softboxes and reflectors, and controlling reflections on metal and plastic parts. Proficient in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom . A portfolio showing clean, consistent product or still-life work — coursework, personal projects, placements or freelance all count.

Meticulous about file naming, folder structure and version control — the SKU code is what links every image to the product record. Comfortable working to daily targets and repeating the same set-up accurately, many times a day. A proactive, can-do attitude and the organisation to manage your own workload. Able to lift and position stock and equipment, and to be on your feet for most of the day.

An interest in the automotive or manufacturing industry is a plus.
