About
You
The Midweight Studio Stylist owns the visual interpretation and execution of creative briefs across product, lifestyle and model shoots. You’ll be a part of concept development, style a wide range of products and apparel, lead the look and feel of shoots, and make the calls that need making in the moment.
The role carries genuine creative autonomy, with the volume and variety of a high-output commercial studio. You’ll work closely with the Studio Manager and the wider studio team (photographer, retouchers, video production lead) and contribute to the creative direction of the studio overall, not just the shoots in front of you.
Responsibilities
Interpreting and Executing Daily Briefs
- Apply a commercial lens to incoming briefs, ensuring that the product is the hero.
- When the brief calls for it, develop a look and feel that makes the product stand out from the noise and pull in the customer.
- Liaise with the Studio Manager to ensure briefs are executed within given time frames.
Concept and Direction
- Build clear styling concepts along with mood boards and a clear direction when working with new brands. Define the colour palette, textures, props and styling approach before a shoot begins.
- Sense-check marketing briefs against the One Day Only brand: quirky, witty, considered, never generic.
- Present concepts to the Studio Manager, take feedback, and turn it around quickly. Tight timelines are the norm, not the exception.
On-Set Execution
- Style product, lifestyle and model shoots, switching between them confidently within the same day.
- Collaborate with the photographer on set, including directing models (often non-professional or first-time talent) and making real-time calls on composition, set adjustments and styling fixes.
- Take creative accountability for what ends up in frame. If something isn’t working, you’re the one who flags it and resolves it before the shoot wraps.
- Work closely with our Video Production Lead on video shoots, including product video, social-first content and campaign work. Stills and video sit alongside each other in this studio, not in separate lanes.
Studio Standards and Inventory
- Keep prop, wardrobe and backdrop inventories accurate and current. Log condition, location and damage as you go.
- Source props and wardrobe from existing studio inventory, retail or supplier loans. Build sourcing relationships over time so we’re not starting from zero on every shoot.
- Reset the studio properly at the end of every shoot day. The next shoot starts cleaner because of it.
- Assist the sample coordinator with sample handling.
Communication and Admin
- Communicate clearly and early with the Studio Manager and the rest of the studio team. Identify and work to resolve any blockers early in the process to ensure a smooth shoot every time.
- Engage directly with the sales and marketing teams when a brief needs unpacking, shoot direction needs aligning, or clarity is needed on an in-progress concept.
- Keep the Studio Forecast updated daily, log tasks and time accurately, and use the studio’s Asana and Google Chats workflows to ensure smooth delivery of assets..
Pushing the Work Forward
- Stay current on what’s happening in product and fashion styling, especially in the realm of e-commerce.
- Bring fresh ideas to the team. Mood board references, set treatments, prop sourcing, and video styling approaches. The studio thrives when everyone’s contributing, not just executing.
