Commercial Photographer & Videographer

Premium Lifestyle Products | Studio & Location Photography

The Wool Company — Cornwall

Salary: £30,000–£38,000 per annum (full-time equivalent), depending on experience and portfolio

Hours: Full-time preferred; four days per week considered

Location: Rural Cornwall — primarily studio-based, with some flexibility for remote editing and planning

Are you an exceptional photographer and videographer with an eye for detail and a passion for beautiful products?

The Wool Company is an established, independent Cornish business specialising in premium natural fibre products, including luxurious wool and cashmere clothing, blankets, throws, sheepskins and beautiful products for the home.

We are looking for a talented, highly capable Commercial Photographer & Videographer to take ownership of our photography and video production, helping us showcase our products to the very highest standard.

This is a wonderful opportunity for someone who takes genuine pride in their craft, has excellent technical skills and loves creating beautiful imagery that captures the quality, texture and character of premium products.

We are a small, friendly, founder-led business where your work will make a genuine difference.

Our approach to photography

At The Wool Company, we believe exceptional photography is fundamental to presenting exceptional products.

We take great care over lighting, composition, styling, texture and accurate colour reproduction.

We are looking for a photographer who shares this attention to detail and takes genuine pride in producing outstanding work.

We value creativity and technical excellence over simply producing large volumes of content.

You will have the opportunity to develop our visual identity further, bringing your own ideas and expertise while maintaining the high standards our customers expect.

The role

You will take responsibility for planning, organising, photographing, filming, editing and delivering professional-quality visual content for our ecommerce website, advertising and marketing activities.

Our photography includes studio product shoots, clothing on models, lifestyle photography in beautiful interior and outdoor locations, sheepskins, blankets, throws and occasional baby and children's shoots.

You will work closely with the founders initially to understand our photographic standards and brand style, before increasingly taking ownership of the complete creative production process.

We do not have a large in-house marketing or production team, so you must be comfortable working independently, managing projects and delivering finished work without needing extensive support.

Key responsibilities

Photography

• Plan and deliver exceptional studio and lifestyle product photography.
• Photograph shawls and accessories on models, both in the studio and on location.
• Create beautiful interior and lifestyle imagery featuring blankets, throws, sheepskins and other natural fibre products.
• Work confidently with professional camera equipment, studio lighting and natural light.
• Maintain excellent colour accuracy using grey cards, consistent white balance and colour-managed editing workflows.
• Capture the texture, drape, softness and fine detail of natural fibre products.
• Edit and retouch photographs professionally using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.
• Prepare, optimise and upload finished images for our ecommerce website.
• Maintain an organised and accessible image library.

Videography

• Plan, film and edit high-quality video content for our website, social media and digital advertising.
• Produce short-form product videos, lifestyle sequences, model-based content and behind-the-scenes footage.
• Capture the movement, texture and quality of our products in a natural and appealing way.
• Edit footage professionally, including appropriate pacing, sound, colour correction and platform formatting.
• Develop creative ideas for video content that help customers understand and appreciate our products.

Creative planning and production

• Take ownership of shoot preparation, shot lists, styling and scheduling.
• Coordinate models, locations, props and product preparation as required.
• Work closely with our stock controller to ensure new products are photographed promptly and efficiently.
• Develop creative visual concepts for new collections, product launches and seasonal campaigns.
• Create finished photography and video assets for use by external marketing specialists.
• Manage your workload, deadlines and priorities independently.
• Explore how AI and emerging creative technologies can improve planning, editing and production efficiency while maintaining accurate, authentic product representation.

Why join The Wool Company?

This is an opportunity to become an important part of an established independent business where your creativity and expertise will be genuinely valued.

Working arrangements
