Careers at Bellroy
Studio Photographer + Retoucher

IN A NUTSHELL

We’re a design brand, so visuals matter. We take pride in the way our products are made, and beautiful, meticulous product photography is key to getting that across to our customers. We're seeking a photographer to capture our growing product range in the best light and retouch imagery to ensure our customers have a world-class online experience. Blending meticulous studio shots with opportunities for on-location lifestyle photography, you'll work alongside our talented in-house creative team to create images that bring our products to life.

This role offers a change from the unpredictable pace of agency or freelance work. In this full-time role, you’ll have the consistency of a fully equipped studio, a thoughtful process, and an awesome team to work alongside. Our products stay within our range for many years, well beyond the months or seasons of other fashion brands so we care about the details.

If you thrive on precision, perfecting angles, shaping silhouettes, and refining details like leather textures and fabric hues, this role is for you. Bring us your steady hand, eye for detail, and passion for beautiful imagery. In return, we’ll provide the environment and resources to support the development of your craft.

Our Spaces

Bellroy' is a fusion of our two homes – Bells Beach and Fitzroy. Bells Beach brings a relaxed, outdoor vibe to balance Fitzroy's creative, urban style. The city and the sea; inspiration and adventure. Together they provide a perfect balance.

Bells Beach

Our beach HQ sits behind giant sandstone cliffs that overlook one of Australia’s best-known surfing coastlines. It’s where our Product Designers experiment in the Maker Lab, and our Sales team consume awesome amounts of espresso and Skype bandwidth. Things are more tranquil here than our Fitzroy neighbours and we like the focus that can create. There’s a cafe right next door if you need a quick bite and our 11am surf check always provides the perfect chance to reset the mind with some salt air.

Fitzroy

Our Fitzroy space is immersed in the middle of Melbourne’s creative hub. It’s where our Creative, Marketing, Engineering and Operations teams develop campaigns and ensure each Bellroy is sent safely across the world. Walk out the door and you’ll find streets bursting with energy (and the best ramen joint this side of Tokyo).

Remotely

Outside of our two main headquarters we have a team that works remotely - from Western Australia to parts of Asia, the USA and Europe. Being global is at the heart of Bellroy, it keeps us connected, and makes sure we see life from many different perspectives. If you have an internet connection and the flexibility to become part of a team you don’t see everyday, you might consider joining our growing global network.
