Photographer

If you're a photographer beginning your career and have the ability to think on your feet, follow processes and work collaboratively with others in a specialist environment we'd love to hear from you!

This role presents an opportunity to develop your photographic practice whilst working with an exciting range of subjects in a truly unique environment. You'll learn about the principles of cultural heritage photography, as well as more general Collections best practise whilst being guided to improve your technical skills, and encouraged to explore your own creativity.

Your work will range from photographing works on paper and negatives, to assisting Photographers with photography of more complex artworks and conservation imaging. Out of the studio you'll be recording our gallery spaces and art on display alongside portraiture, editorial and events shoots. You'll be responsible for your own photography from capture to upload, paying careful attention to detail to ensure images are delivered at the highest standards and to agreed deadlines. The role is based in London, but you'll be working across all four of Tate's galleries and our art store, as well as at external locations.

You'll hold a recognised qualification or equivalent experience to demonstrate practical and professional photographic skills, being confident using high-end digital cameras, artificial lighting, editing software and having knowledge of appropriate file formats. The post requires a sound technical understanding of photography and a willingness to apply this to photographic best practice in an arts & heritage environment.
