Lead Photographer & Visual Content Head

About Ardore

Ardore is a creative movement wrapped in unforgettable experiences. From surreal travel escapes to offbeat city events, we craft moments that feel personal, magnetic, and cinematic. Our audience doesn’t want another trip — they want a memory that looks like a movie and feels like a fever dream.

And that’s where you come in.

The Role

We're looking for a visual mastermind — someone who can shoot with soul, edit with edge, and experiment like a true creator. You’ll be the one behind the camera, behind the story, and behind the viral content.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Capturing 

  cinematic, raw, and emotionally charged visuals

   of Ardore events, trips & BTS moments
• Shooting a mix of 

  drone shots, slow motion, vertical reels, UGC-style clips

  , fast-paced montages, and mood-driven content
• Editing 

  fast, punchy reels

   and 

  immersive cinematic shorts

   that feel current, emotional, and viral-ready
• Produce mood films, event aftermovies, and micro-stories with consistency
• Using transitions, voiceovers, sound design, overlays, and cuts to create vibe-heavy masterpieces
• Developing visual formats with the content + marketing team — think trends, countdowns, reveals, ‘strangers to friends’, POVs, etc.
• Delivering content optimized for 

  Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, web & ads

• Pitching and trying new formats weekly — your creativity is the strategy
• Align with experience and operations team to understand flow, highlights, and content moments
• Contribute ideas for storyboards, shoot concepts, content structure, and delivery plans

Tools You Might Use

• DSLR / Mirrorless Cameras (Sony, Canon, etc.)
• Drone (Mavic, FPV, etc.)
• GoPro, Osmo, handheld gimbals
• Editing: Adobe Premiere Pro / Final Cut / DaVinci
• Optional: After Effects / Lightroom / CapCut / AI tools / Audiosuite plugins

You’re the One If You:

• Have 1–3+ years of experience in photography and/or cinematography
• Have a 

  raw, bold, aesthetic eye

   — not just technical skills
• Can shoot & edit fast — and make it feel like art
• Love experimenting with 

  new formats, styles, trends, music, and moods

• Obsess over 

  soundtracks, transitions, aesthetics, energy

• Know how to make things go viral without looking like ads
• Deliver complete content with minimal oversight
• Are comfortable shooting on the go, in unpredictable settings — mountains, rooftops, buses, beaches, crowds
• Live and breathe content — if you screenshot videos for inspo, we get you

Bonus Points If You:

• Have your own style, but know how to adapt to a brand vision
• Have shot 

  travel, nightlife, people, or fashion content

• Understand 

  culture, storytelling, and creative direction

• Have a killer reel/portfolio you’re proud of

What You’ll Help Us Achieve

• Scroll-stopping visual identity that feels 

  fresh, cinematic, and trend-savvy

• Content that 

  sells the experience before the person even books

• A brand that 

  feels alive and unforgettable

   on every platform
• Visual content people save, share, remix, and remember

This is a chance to build something culture-shifting — not just document it, but define it.
