Job Description

As a VRX Studios photographer you will have the opportunity to shoot a range of exciting and challenging projects. You will be expected to plan, manage and execute both large and small projects, problem solve uniquely challenging situations, interact with and educate teams and clients alike, and deliver potentially award-winning images.

All our photographers start out as Regional Architectural Photographers, where you will be responsible for conducting photography assignments within your geographic region. As your image quality, photographic skills, commitment and overall leadership abilities are proven, you will have the opportunity to move up to Preferred Photographer and Senior Photographer roles where you will be involved in larger more complex international projects.

All photographers report directly to our Head of Photography and are responsible for conducting, managing and delivering photography assignments within the assigned time frames and spec. Assignments include, but are not limited to architectural, destination, food & beverage, lifestyle and drone photography and can be anywhere between 1 and 15 days in length. VRX Studios manages all the pre-shoot logistic and planning as well as all the post-shoot editing and final delivery to our clients. We do not require our photographers to do any postproduction or editing. All images will be delivered to VRX Studios via FTP in raw unedited format.
