Spain Photography jobs

About you
You’ll be passionate about classic and specialist vehicles, and through that passion you'll be able to demonstrate excellent technical knowledge to produce outstanding imagery for our platform.

You’ll be confident enough to self-organise and work independently, using your own initiative. You’ll be comfortable speaking with people from every corner of the classic and specialist car world, from home-based enthusiasts to specialist dealers with stock valued in the millions. And, on that note, you'll be just as engaged and invested in photographing a Morris Minor as you would be a Maserati Merak.

You’ll be a skilled photographer with some experience in basic videography and be able to demonstrate this through previous work in the automotive field. Automotive experience is an advantage; however, we're happy to review applications from photographers with experience in other sectors.

You’ll have a consistent and thoughtful approach to your work, along with a strong understanding of the principles of vehicle photography, enabling you to deliver accurate and informative imagery. This also relies on your vehicle knowledge, as you'll be expected to capture all the important details of each vehicle. Specific photography and video guidelines will be provided to successful applicants.

Above all, you'll be someone who wants to join a great team of enthusiasts helping to reshape the classic and specialist car market. Car & Classic is now a household name, and we want people to join us on this exciting journey.
