Job description

We are seeking an Art Director to lead the creative vision and on-set execution of photography and video content for our NY studio, with a focus on on-figure and location shoots. This role partners closely with the Creative Director and cross-functional teams to bring brand strategy, seasonal concepts, and campaign direction to life through elevated, compelling imagery across catalog, e-commerce, digital, social, and advertising channels.

The Art Director will guide the look and feel of photo and video productions, including styling direction, lighting, composition, talent direction, location storytelling, and overall visual tone. This person will work hands-on with photographers, stylists, hair and makeup artists, models, and production teams to ensure each shoot delivers cohesive, brand-right imagery that supports business objectives and customer engagement.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Art direct on-figure and location shoots from concept through final image selection.
  • Partner with the Creative Director to shape visual direction for photography and video content.
  • Direct photographers, stylists, models, hair and makeup artists, and production crews on set.
  • Ensure styling, wardrobe, props, location, lighting, and composition align with brand standards and seasonal concepts.
  • Collaborate with marketing, merchandising, e-commerce, and production teams to understand product priorities and business needs.
  • Review and select final imagery, partnering with retouching and post-production teams to ensure creative intent is maintained.
  • Manage shifting priorities, shoot timelines, and location variables while maintaining a high standard of creative excellence.

Ideal qualifications:

  • 5–7 years of experience in photo art direction, creative production, or related roles.
  • Strong portfolio showcasing on-figure, lifestyle, location, and product photography direction.
  • Strong visual eye and expertise in lighting, composition, styling, talent direction, and visual storytelling.
  • Proven ability to lead on-set productions and translate creative concepts into polished, brand-aligned imagery.
  • Excellent communication, collaboration, organization, and project management skills.
  • Working knowledge of post-production workflows, retouching standards, digital asset management, Capture One, and Adobe Creative Suite.

The pay range for this position is $90,000 - $110,000. An employee’s pay within the salary range will be based on numerous factors including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, experience, skills, geographical location, and business or organizational needs. This position may also be eligible for annual merit increase, bonus, and/or incentive compensation. We also offer a comprehensive benefits package including paid time off, health, dental, vision, and disability benefits.
