  • Editing & Enhancement: Edit and enhance your photos to ensure they meet our branding standards and showcase our items in the best light possible.
  • Behind-the-Scenes Content: Document the energy and creativity of our team by capturing engaging behind-the-scenes shots for marketing and social media.
  • Organise & Manage Assets: Help organise and manage our photography assets, ensuring a streamlined process for uploading images to our eCommerce platforms.

What You’ll Gain:

  • Photography Experience: Build your portfolio with real-world eCommerce photography that showcases your skills in styling and shooting various products.
  • Creative Development: Enhance your photography, styling, and editing skills while gaining insights into visual merchandising and branding.
  • Business Insights: Learn about the role of photography in driving online sales and how effective imagery influences customer engagement and purchasing decisions.
  • Portfolio building: Expand your portfolio with diverse images that highlight your creativity and technical abilities.
  • Boost Your CV: Gain valuable experience in the growing fields of sustainable fashion and online charity retail, enhancing your employability.
  • Make an Impact: Every image you capture helps raise vital funds for Fight for Sight’s mission to prevent sight loss and support those living with visual impairments.

Who We're Looking For:

We know you’re busy, so our volunteering shifts are flexible! You can commit to as little as three hours per week, and we’ll work around your schedule. You’ll be based at our eBay hub in West Norwood, just a short distance from public transport.
