ABOUT KINSHIP
Kinship is an integrated marketing agency serving leaders in food, travel and culture. We blend Public Relations, Social Media, Digital Marketing and Studio production to build brands that move people — and drive measurable impact.
Our Studio team captures the emotion, craft and energy of hospitality. We don’t create content for content’s sake. We create visual systems that build attention, affinity and revenue.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re hiring an entrepreneurially-minded Content Creator who is equally strong in professional photography and videography to shoot both during the same content session, with a deep portfolio rooted in restaurants, hotels, chefs, bars and hospitality lifestyle.

- Concept
- Capture
- Direct
- Light
- Edit
- Deliver
You will travel approximately 5–6 times per month for onsite shoots within your region and occasionally beyond. You should thrive in fast-paced environments, feel at home on property and understand how to translate a hospitality brand into imagery that sells without feeling like it’s selling.

- Lead On-Property Photo & Video Production
- Execute high-end social-first and campaign shoots across hotels, restaurants, bars and lifestyle partners

- Translate business objectives into compelling visual storytelling
- Post-Production Excellence
- Edit photography (Lightroom, Photoshop)
- Edit video (Premiere Pro; After Effects for motion graphics preferred)
- Organize and deliver assets to internal systems cleanly and efficiently
- Maintain consistency with brand guidelines across all deliverables
- Entrepreneurial Ownership
- Identify paid photo/video opportunities and scope them effectively
- Balance multiple shoots and deadlines simultaneously
- Bring forward ideas that elevate our production model
- Tell us what we don’t know, with candor and confidence

- 5+ years professional experience in both photography and videography
- Portfolio showcasing hospitality-specific work (hotels and food & beverage required)

- Strong understanding of social-first content creation and platform nuance

PERSONAL TRAITS THAT MATTER HERE
