Hiring: Stylist

About the Role 

In this role, you are creating alongside our photographers and producers to bring photo and stop motion concepts to life for our CPG clients. To be effective as a stylist at Birdhill, it’s crucial to have both finesse and a process-oriented approach. The goal is not to make an awesome splash in one photoshoot; rather, we want to hit the mark with every photoshoot. It starts with doing the simple things well, with care, consistently. Magic will happen on set, but this starts with a strong foundation. If you are eager to learn, create, and contribute within a growing team, this role may be for you.


About Birdhill 

Since starting in 2020, we’ve been on a steady mission to create effective photo and stop motion content for CPG brands. We have built a team of Denver-based creators, we work with startups to Fortune 500 companies, and have found our niche: monthly photo and stop motion content. Each month, clients send us their products and we handle the rest — this includes creating a shot list, sourcing props, talent, styling, shooting, retouching, and all the details that go behind the scenes of effective content. We’re excited to grow our team with experts who will leave their stamp on Birdhill.
