Hiring: Photographer

About the Role 

In this role, you are leading the execution of photo and stop motion video content for our CPG clients. You will be working directly with a Birdhill producer and stylist to execute a set list of concepts. It is key that you have a strong foundation for product and lifestyle photography. You are encouraged to follow and build processes for consistently smooth productions; while we aim for photoshoots to hum without hiccups, there are inevitable challenges that arise which require flexibility and a solutions-focused mindset. You’re a creator, collaborator, problem solver, and part of a growing team who wants to create impactful work through exceptional processes.

About Birdhill

Since 2020, we’ve been on a steady mission to fill a gap for CPG brands: premium, cohesive, and ready-to-use monthly photography. We have built a team of Denver-based creators, we work with startups to Fortune 500 companies, and have built the necessary systems to scale. Each month, clients send us their products and we handle all steps of the photo and stop motion content creation process — this includes creating a shot list, sourcing props, talent, shooting, retouching, and all the details that go on behind every photoshoot. We’re excited to grow our team with experts who will leave their stamp on Birdhill and the brands we create for.
