Job Description
The mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. That means independent journalism is at the heart of all we do as a company. It's why we have a world-renowned newsroom that sends journalists to report on the ground from nearly 160 countries. It's why we focus deeply on how our readers will experience our journalism, from print to audio to a world-class digital and app destination. And it's why our business strategy centers on making journalism so good that it's worth paying for. About the Role, Mission or Department Overview Wirecutter is looking for a Head of Photography to lead the evolution of our visual storytelling. Photography is central to how we do journalism here, and we're investing to make it even more so. You'll report to the Creative Director, work closely together to set the photography vision for the brand, and have real autonomy to run your department from our dedicated studio in Long Island City. Our photography aspires to the highest editorial and creative standards. It teaches. It earns trust. It shows readers what they actually need to know - how two products differ, what our testing looks like, what something feels like to live with. You'll be part of a creative leadership team that is genuinely collaborative and open, and oversee a team of three photographers. This is an in-office position, based in our Long Island City office. Responsibilities: Define and drive the photography vision. Work closely with the Creative Director to understand our creative strategy, then push beyond it. Bring a genuine point of view and ideas we haven't thought of yet. Direct product and editorial photography across a range of shoot types: product spreads, individual products and product details, POV shots, and process photography that documents our testing and earns reader trust. Bring video into the mix. Know
