How much do freelance food video jobs pay per hour?
What is the difference between Freelance Food Video vs Food Photographer?
| Aspect | Freelance Food Video | Food Photographer |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Basic video editing skills, camera operation | Photography skills, camera operation |
| Work Environment | On-location shoots, studio setups | Studio, restaurant, or on-location photography |
| Industry Usage | Content creation for social media, commercials | Print, packaging, editorial food photography |
| Search & Comparison | Often compared for visual content creation | Compared for still food imagery |
Freelance Food Video focuses on creating dynamic visual content through videos, requiring video editing and filming skills. Food Photographers specialize in capturing high-quality still images of food, emphasizing lighting and composition. Both roles often work in similar environments and serve the food industry, but they differ in the type of visual content produced.

Job description
NYT Cooking is looking for a creative, highly skilled Studio Video Producer to execute and elevate our in-studio video content. You will join an interdisciplinary team dedicated to helping home cooks discover the world's best recipes.
In this role, you will be the on-set creative force utilizing a wide-range of video formats, from stand-alone recipe videos to personality-driven series. Working alongside a team of videographers, culinary producers, food stylists and video editors, you will produce and direct high-quality video content featuring a diverse roster of culinary talent.
You will act as the primary producer for talent-driven shoots in the NYT Studio Kitchen.. You'll build strong partnerships with talent, helping developers translate their creative vision into clear, service-oriented takeaways for the NYT Cooking audience. You will manage the end-to-end production logistics - from building crews and directing in the studio to writing scripts and guiding the post-production process. Ultimately, you are a hands-on visual storyteller who understands the nuances of food production, thrives in a collaborative team environment and excels at making external on-camera talent feel confident, supported and prepared.
This is an in-office position based in New York and includes regular attendance in the office four days each week.
Responsibilities:
Demonstrate support and understanding of our value of journalistic independence and a strong commitment to our mission to seek the truth and help people understand the world.
Produce, direct and edit multi-camera video shoots featuring independent recipe creators, ensuring all technical, visual and culinary aspects meet NYT Cooking's rigorous standards.
Coordinate closely with recipe editors, project managers, culinary support staff and our studio manager to ensure shoots are productive and deadlines are met.
- Act as the video production point-of-contact for recipe creators, assisting them through the production process, guiding their on-camera delivery and ensuring their personality and voice shines through.
- Foster excellent relationships with recipe creators in our network and encourage long-term partnerships.
- Coordinate complex studio and field logistics between in-house production and freelancers.
- Collaborate during the editing process by providing helpful notes on videos and taking passback edits from freelancers as needed.
- Publish videos to NYT Cooking's platforms (including YouTube) and use platform analytics and data-driven insights to refine future content and formats.
- Collaborate with recipe editors, social media editors and project managers to pitch, develop and adapt creator recipes into compelling video formats, scripts and shot lists.
- Demonstrate support and understanding of our value of journalistic independence and a strong commitment to our mission to seek the truth and help people understand the world.
- This role reports to the Supervising Producer, NYT Cooking.
Basic Qualifications:
- 4+ years of relevant experience producing and directing digital video for an online audience within the food, lifestyle or personality-driven media space.
- Experience directing on-camera talent who have strong video production and editing backgrounds; you can tactfully validate their creative instincts while enforcing NYT Cooking's unique video identity.
- Clear understanding of video platform analytics (Youtube).
- The ability to edit quickly and accurately with Adobe Premiere Pro.
- Experience creating scripts and outlines for video editors and taking passback edits.
Preferred Qualifications:
- On-set experience producing or directing recipe videos and working collaboratively with culinary support staff.
- A strategic mind with a bend toward testing and iterating to find what visual formats resonate with different audiences.
- Well-versed in the world of social and digital food media, with a keen eye on what creators and competitors are doing across platforms.
- A highly collegial team player with a positive attitude and a willingness to pitch in when needed to accomplish the goals of a small team.
- A deep passion for food, cooking and the mission of The New York Times.
This position is represented by the NewsGuild of NY.
