About the Opportunity:

We are seeking an experienced and reliable eCommerce Product Photographer to work with our established Australian fashion retail businesses, Henry Bucks and City Hatters.

This is an ongoing freelance opportunity based at our studio in Cheltenham, Melbourne, with regular photography requirements throughout the year.

- Detail shots highlighting fabric textures, construction and product features.

- Efficient shooting and editing workflow, particularly when photographing multiple products in a session.
- High attention to detail, particularly with garment presentation, fabric texture and product accuracy.
- Flexibility to accommodate varying monthly volumes and occasional short-notice bookings.
- Ability to work independently and meet agreed turnaround times.
- Availability to attend our Cheltenham studio in person.

Working Arrangements:

This is not a full-time or fixed-hours position. Photography sessions will be scheduled based on stock arrivals and business requirements.

We are open to discussing an hourly, half-day, full-day or per-product rate, depending on experience and the most efficient arrangement for both parties.

There is potential for a consistent, ongoing relationship with the right photographer.

1. A portfolio demonstrating relevant eCommerce product photography, preferably fashion and apparel.
2. Your experience photographing clothing, footwear, hats or accessories.
3. Your pricing structure, including photography and post-production.

We would ideally like to begin with a paid trial shoot to assess photographic quality, consistency and workflow before establishing an ongoing arrangement.
