Fashion Photographer UK jobs

We welcome applications from candidates seeking freelance, part-time or full-time opportunities.

Role purpose

This role sits at the heart of how Busby & Fox looks and feels to our customers. Our Stylist owns how our clothing is presented across ecommerce photography and other types of creative content – and the quality, consistency and commercial impact of that work rests significantly with them.

The right person will understand the Busby & Fox aesthetic deeply and be able to bring it to life with skill, care and consistently high standards. A strong artistic eye and proven experience are both essential. So is the ability to work closely with our Founder, absorbing her intuitive approach to styling and translating it faithfully into every image we make.

This is a hands-on role that spans the full cycle of a shoot – from wardrobe management and outfitting sessions through to on-set direction and final delivery. It also reaches beyond the studio, contributing to content produced by other teams and staying connected across the business to keep our visual output consistent everywhere it appears.

It's your job to add value by:

Absorbing and interpreting our creative direction. Working closely with our Founder and Senior Creative Lead to understand the styling vision for each season and translate it accurately into every shoot. This means more than following a brief – it means understanding the thinking behind it and making sure that comes through in the work. Every image should reflect where the brand is and where it's heading.

Owning photographic styling. Taking full responsibility for how our clothing is presented across e-commerce, lifestyle and still life photography. You'll set it, hold it and deliver it consistently – building looks that are on-brand, considered and commercially relevant, with colours that work together, layering that feels deliberate and accessories that complete rather than compete.

Managing wardrobe with care and rigour. Full ownership of wardrobe management – from organising pieces and accessories ahead of outfitting sessions to writing styling guides and ensuring every garment is presented perfectly.

Bringing outfits to life through the model. Guiding poses, movement and expression to ensure garments are presented in the most compelling way, creating imagery that conveys confidence, ease and authenticity while helping customers understand how the clothes look, feel and fit in real life.

Collaborating creatively. Working alongside other creative team members, ensuring styling enhances the broader creative direction, with all disciplines working together to create a cohesive final result.

Contributing to content beyond the studio. Working with content producers across the business – including social media – on outfit building and product styling for content made outside the studio. The same standards and the same eye for detail apply, wherever the work is being made.

Thinking commercially. The images we produce need to capture attention, convert, communicate our ethos and make our brand promises real for every customer who sees them. A commercial way of thinking should play into every decision – from how a look is built to how the final image reads.

Staying curious about our customer and our market. Understanding our Customer Muses well and knowing what connects with them. Engaging with the data and insights that wider teams produce and using that to inform decisions on set. Keeping an informed eye on how other brands are presenting themselves and developing – not to follow, but because that awareness sharpens the work.

Staying connected across the business. Actively looking for ways to work with other teams and making sure the styling work is joined up with what the rest of the business is doing and presenting. Consistent output across every channel takes deliberate effort and good communication.
