What the job involves

Reporting to the Creative Lead (with a dotted line to the Head of Photography in Australia), our new Senior Photographer and Content Producer will be the driving force behind Dock & Bay’s UK visual output while our Head Photographer is on maternity leave
Unlike junior roles, this position is about taking full ownership. You will be the principal photographer for the UK region leading shoots end-to-end, making confident creative decisions, and ensuring our colourful world is captured consistently across all key markets. While you'll be autonomous on the ground in London, you'll work in close, equal partnership with our AU photography team to share global responsibilities and bounce ideas around
You’ll wear many hats and lead every step of the process: building comprehensive briefs, coordinating full-scale production, directing models on set, styling and ironing towels (always lots of towels!), filming video content, retouching imagery, and pioneering the use of AI tools to make our workflows smarter
Because we are a global team, you’ll need some flexibility for cross-team meetings with Australia outside of regular UK office hours
This is a senior role where high-level photography, exceptional production skills, retouching, and a fiercely creative eye are essential
Photograph Dock & Bay products in-studio and on location lifestyle shoots
Support and assist the head photographer during campaign photoshoots, including managing the external crew
Maintain gear, lighting setups, and studio efficiency
Film dynamic video content across lifestyle and campaign shoots using gimbals and in-house video gear
Build and organise Premiere Pro sessions and export video content
Co-manage the production of all in-house and external shoots, including model casting and booking crew such as stylists, HMUA, and assistants
Manage pre-shoot logistics, including call sheets, permits, contracts, and schedules
Manage on-set logistics, directing models, keeping to time, coordinating crew, organising catering, and solving problems as they arise
Work with stylists or style products yourself, prep props and accessories ahead of shoot days (including ironing towels)
Work collaboratively on post-production, including importing and organising images, initial colour grades and selects, and creating storyboards
Retouch studio, ecom, and campaign imagery using Adobe Photoshop, including coordinating external retouching or utilising AI
Maintain organised file systems and reliable backups, ensuring all imagery is managed efficiently and uploaded accurately across required channels
Collaborate with creative & marketing teams to produce campaign assets that meet strategic objectives and brand guidelines
Join regular in-person meetings at our London office to collaborate with the UK team, while maintaining flexibility for out-of-hours calls with the AU team to ensure seamless global communication
Maintain calendars, workflows, and deadlines while keeping file systems tidy, managing tasks through Monday.com and adapting smoothly to shifting timelines or weather
Bring fresh visual ideas and trend insights, share inspiration across teams, and continually upskill across gear, lighting, Adobe Suite, and emerging tools like AI

Our take

Founders and avid travellers, Andy and Ben were tired of towels that were too bulky for their backpacks. Noticing a gap in the market, the pair got to work on designing a light, compact towel that could dry quickly.

In 2017, the pair headed for Dragon's Den, securing a £75k investment from Deborah Meaden. Using the investment to give back to the planet, Dock & Bay products are now made from 100% recycled materials.

The capital gained also gave the company the ability to work with charities like WWF, Whale & Dolphin Conversation (WDC) and One Tree Planted, donating a chunk of their profits to charity as part of their continued company mission.
