Photography Assistant

Spare Bulb is a still-life photography studio in a railway-arch space just off Rye Lane. We shoot food, ceramics, cosmetics and small objects on colour paper backdrops for independent brands and magazines.

We need an assistant for two to three shoot days a week. You will help build lighting setups, tether the camera and run capture on set, prep props, swap backdrops and keep the studio tidy enough that we can find the gaffer tape.

No experience is needed beyond curiosity and care. If you have shot your own still life, bring it along. If you have not, tell us what you have been looking at. You will learn strobes, modifiers, tethering and basic retouching on the job.

Shoot days are 9am to 6pm, booked a fortnight ahead so you can plan around study or other work.
