What are the responsibilities and job description for the Professional Automotive Photographer/Videographer position at Motorcars Limited?
Motorcars Limited is seeking an exceptional Automotive Photographer to join our Bring a Trailer department. This is not a volume-lot photography role. We are looking for someone who can professionally capture special-interest, enthusiast, and high-end vehicles in a manner consistent with premium online presentation.
Our inventory and client vehicles range from analog collector cars to modern performance and luxury vehicles. The ideal candidate understands how to visually tell the story of a car - from design details and provenance cues to condition, finishes, interior craftsmanship, and undercarriage presentation. This role is ideal for someone who appreciates the difference between ordinary dealership photography and the kind of honest, compelling presentation seen in top-tier enthusiast auctions.
What you'll do
Competitive compensation based on experience, skill, and portfolio.
