Junior Photographer jobs

Location: Swindon (Groundwell Industrial Estate)
Type: Full-time, On-site

Job Summary
We're 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 we sell 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 at pace. We'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 BGA's 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.

What We Offer You:

• Competitive Salary: We're open to tailoring the job offer to fit your skills and experience.
• Environment: A fully equipped, purpose-built studio at our modern Swindon offices.
• Growth Opportunities: Be part of an ambitious, fast-growing company, with a clear path to a senior studio role as the team develops.
• Supportive Team: Join a close-knit group that values fresh ideas, innovation, and teamwork
• Workplace pension
• On-site parking, Drinks & Fruit complimentary
• Increased holiday for long service.
