About the role:
As the Lead Fast Track photographer for Taste of Home, you will oversee and manage the Fast Track photography operations, leading and mentoring the photography team to ensure daily requirements are met. You will be a hands-on team leader, food styling and photographing recipes both independently and as part of a team. Always keeping the TOH brand aesthetic in mind, you split your time between the studio kitchen and photo set, where you style and photograph recipes that will be live on site within days. Reporting to the Executive Director, Culinary, you use your culinary knowledge, technical know-how and styling sensibilities to make our high-performing recipes shine.
About you:
Driven by your passion to cook, create and inspire, you’re a highly creative individual with a hunger for meaningful (and fun) work. A person with a diverse skill set and proven potential with the many facets required of this role, you are flexible with job duties and self-motivated to produce the best content possible. You are an emerging food stylist and photographer with a demonstrated commitment to mastering creative principles and a willingness to take on new challenges and learn from experienced professionals. You are comfortable styling and shooting recipes, honoring recipe integrity (following the Taste of Home recipe, as written) while maintaining overall brand aesthetic and continuity. You are collaborative in nature and understand how to work with a team in a fast-paced environment to make content come to life across multiple channels. You’re excited and delighted to be part of a dynamic environment with others who share in your healthy obsession for all things food-related!
