Apply for Freelance Product Videographer (Monthly Retainer)

We manage social media accounts (esp. instagram), run seo and ad campaigns, and design, build, and manage websites and use other digital tools to help businesses grow. We focus on the luxury auction, luxury tourism, and luxury home and home improvement industries.

About Ability Growth Partners

Ability Growth Partners (AGP) is a marketing agency that serves high-end clients — primarily luxury auction houses and specialty retailers — across the United States. We act as the strategic marketing arm for our clients. We are a lean, disciplined team that does excellent work and treats our contractors like partners.

The Role

We are building a bench of elite freelance product videographers in select cities. We are not hiring for one-off gigs. We are looking to establish a monthly retainer relationship, typically producing 10–16 short-form product videos per month for our clients' Instagram Reels, Facebook, and TikTok channels.

You will shoot high-end products — jewelry, fine art, luxury goods, and collectibles — on location at our client's facility. You will edit and deliver polished, platform-ready vertical videos that make expensive things look expensive. You will also be responsible for sourcing royalty-free music (AI generated music is fine), and coordinating with clients for approval of finished reels and any necessary revisions.

Because our clients are often in the auction business, there may be a very tight turnaround time from shoot to edit to revision to publish. You will be expected to manage the full approval cycle with the client within an agreed upon time frame.

What You Will Do

You will travel to our client's location in [City Name] on a scheduled shoot day to capture product footage. Usually these shoots are weekly. You will edit and deliver the agreed number of vertical videos (1080×1920, MP4) within 48–72 hours of the shoot. You will communicate proactively, follow a clear brief, and flag any issues before they become problems. You will bring your own professional-grade camera, lighting, and audio equipment.

What We Are Looking For

The non-negotiables are a strong portfolio demonstrating product videography in a luxury or high-end context, professional-grade equipment, and a track record of reliable delivery. We are not looking for someone who needs hand-holding. We are looking for someone who reads the brief, asks smart questions before the shoot, executes with precision, and delivers without being chased.

Often there is no brief. You simply show up, a coordinator presents you with items to shoot, and it is up to you to produce a reel worthy of the luxury of the item.

Proficiency in Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve is required. Experience with short-form social media content (Reels, TikTok) is essential.

The Hiring Process

Our hiring process is: portfolio review, followed by a paid sample project (a scoped test shoot at $300–$500), followed by a retainer offer for candidates who meet our standard. We pay for the test shoot regardless of outcome.
