Freelance Art Director
ANCC Studio is assembling a roster of Art Directors for ongoing shoots and campaigns. This is a roster call-out. We won't respond to immediate submissions. Portfolios are reviewed on a rolling basis and we'll be in touch when a brief aligns.
London-based.
The Role
Lead shoots with a clear visual standard, working across campaign, lookbook, and editorial capture. Set and maintain the creative direction on set, ensuring lighting, styling, posing, and framing align with the brand vision. Oversee selects with confidence, balancing strong product visibility with an editorial point of view. Create reference boards, shot lists, and quick treatments to support campaign, content, and e-commerce needs. Ensure each shoot aligns with brand direction, commercial goals, and the required output.
The Candidate
A sharp editorial eye, with a strong sense of composition and elevated imagery across fashion and luxury. Experience art directing campaign, lookbook, or editorial shoots for fashion, beauty, or luxury brands. Confident making selects at pace, balancing commercial priorities with refined taste. Comfort leading a set, working with photographers, stylists, HMU, set assistants, and production. A tidy and reliable workflow, able to uphold consistency across high-volume shooting environments. Comfortable working within budgets and timelines, with a calm and organised approach on set. Solid Capture One understanding for reviewing, marking, and managing selects on set is a plus. E-commerce experience is a bonus, not a requirement. London-based or able to work to UK hours, with availability for studio days when needed.
Working with ANCC

Application Requirements
Portfolio link or a concise PDF (under 15 MB) showcasing fashion, campaign, or luxury work. A short note outlining availability, relevant experience, and typical day rate. Location and UK right-to-work information for on-site shoots. Optional: any added skills, such as retouch supervision and set experience welcome.
