Freelance Brand Photographer
Resale Education Brand Launch – Fall 2025 (Chicago-Based)
WHO WE ARE
We’re building a bold, community-first education platform to help women step into the resale economy with confidence—through sustainable fashion, entrepreneurship, and real-world closet stories.
Think: “real women, real wardrobes” meets elevated, editorial-style photography.
This isn’t about resale as retail—it’s about teaching, inspiring, and empowering women to embrace circular fashion and see their closets as a source of both value and possibility.
THE OPPORTUNITY
We’re seeking a Chicago-based freelance photographer to create lifestyle and brand-forward imagery in October 2025.
This project will span 2–3 half- or full-day shoots across diverse city locations, blending authentic, documentary moments with intentional, editorial polish.
Your work will help visualize the power of circular fashion—capturing the stories of women turning unused clothing into opportunity, community, and change.
WHAT YOU’LL BE SHOOTING
- Real women in real closets (not professional models)
- Empowerment-focused portraits that celebrate individuality
- Behind the scenes of closet clean-outs and resale journeys
- Flat lays of pricing tools, checklists, and digital learning materials
- Community storytelling (“How I turned my closet into $1K” or “Closet Confessions”)
KEY DELIVERABLES
- 80–120 edited lifestyle + brand images
- Mix of candid storytelling and styled detail shots
- Versatile crops (horizontal + vertical) for web, course materials, and social
SHOOT LOCATIONS
A mix of lived-in, colorful, and urban storytelling backdrops:
- West Town / Ukrainian Village
- Bronzeville/Hyde Park
- Wicker Park / Pilsen (murals, color walls)
- Fulton Market / River North
- A styled studio or co-working space for course visuals
IDEAL PARTNER
- Documentary/editorial photography style (intimate but elevated)
- Strong eye for color, texture, and visual storytelling
- Comfortable directing everyday women (not professional talent)
- Passion for purpose-driven work—sustainability, circular fashion, or community storytelling
- Experience with lifestyle, brand, or small business creative shoots
✨ This is an opportunity to shape the visual identity of a movement—capturing authentic, aspirational imagery that makes circular fashion and resale education feel modern, bold, and deeply human.
