I’m looking for a freelance Part-Time Creative Assistant to support me on photography and content shoot days across food, drink, hospitality, interiors and lifestyle clients.
This is a hands‑on freelance role for someone who wants to learn how premium commercial content is created in real shoot environments, from styling and lighting to behind‑the‑scenes storytelling, client‑facing professionalism and the small details that make imagery feel considered.
You’ll work alongside me on day shoots, typically for a few hours at a time, assisting with equipment, styling, behind‑the‑scenes content and occasional lifestyle clips.
This role would suit someone with a strong eye for aesthetics, an interest in hospitality, food styling, content creation or brand storytelling, and a genuine desire to learn by being on set.

* Occasionally appearing on camera as a model/hand model
* Following creative direction and adapting quickly on the day
* Supporting the smooth running of the shoot from start to finish by managing briefs.
