Creative Videographer & Photographer

Halfords Group PLC is hiring a Creative Videographer and Photographer based out of Portsmouth, England. This is a content production role sitting within the in-house creative studio, responsible for delivering video and photography assets across retail campaigns, autocentre marketing, and digital channels. It suits a mid-level shooter and editor who is comfortable moving between controlled studio environments and location lifestyle shoots without losing pace.

About the Role

The Creative Videographer and Photographer reports into the Studio Manager and works across a continuous slate of branded content production, covering everything from product photography to campaign video for e-commerce and social platforms. A typical day might shift from planning a studio product shoot in the morning to sitting in post-production workflow review for a retail video in the afternoon. The volume and variety here is genuine, which means the job rewards people who can manage their own project timelines without being chased.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and execute studio and lifestyle shoots, handling camera operation on Sony or Canon systems across both stills and video capture.
• Edit video content in Adobe Premiere Pro, cutting campaign and product footage to brief across multiple digital channels.
• Build motion graphics and visual treatments in After Effects to support retail and autocentre marketing deliverables.
• Retouch and colour grade photography assets using Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to meet brand standards for digital publication.
• Work directly with the Studio Manager during pre-production planning to assess shot lists, locations, and asset requirements for each campaign.
• Manage file organisation and asset delivery to ensure finished content reaches the right teams in the correct formats and on schedule.

What You Bring

• Proven experience as a videographer and photographer in a commercial, retail, or branded content production environment.
• Working proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and Lightroom as primary production tools.
• Hands-on camera experience with Sony or Canon systems in both studio and on-location shoots.
• A portfolio that demonstrates competency across video editing, colour work, and stills retouching for marketing or e-commerce use.
• Ability to manage multiple briefs simultaneously within a structured in-house studio workflow.

Why This Role

Halfords Group PLC operates one of the larger in-house content studios in UK retail, which means genuine production volume and a consistent brief rather than the unpredictability of agency or freelance work. The hybrid setup gives the Creative Videographer and Photographer real flexibility without sacrificing access to the studio kit and team needed to do the job properly. For someone looking to build a deep commercial production credit list within a structured environment, this is a credible place to do it.
