Description

About SoScale At SoScale Media, we're on a mission to scale brands through high-performing content rooted in creativity, performance data, and platform fluency. We blend bold ideas with a sharp performance mindset to deliver UGC and ad strategies that don't just look great—they convert. We're fast-growing, culture-driven, and relentlessly focused on results. Our values shape how we work: Extreme Ownership – We don't wait. We take initiative and own outcomes. Profit – We make work that works. For our clients, and for our business. Above & Beyond – We over-deliver, bringing passion and extra to every brief. Relationships – We move as a team, lead with empathy, and care deeply. About the Role We're looking for a Director of Photography who can bring ideas to life through cinematic, high-performing video content. This is a freelance role for someone who understands both visual storytelling and performance-driven content. You'll work closely with our creative team to produce content across ads, social media, and brand storytelling. You're not just someone who presses record. You're a visual architect who understands framing, lighting, movement, and narrative—and how those elements translate into content that captures attention and drives engagement. From cinematic brand videos to high-performing ad creatives, you'll help shape the visual language of our content. You’ll collaborate on shoot concepts, direct talent when needed, and ensure every shot serves both the story and the performance goals. If you're someone who gets excited about creating beautiful visuals, experimenting with creative shots, and building brands through content, we'd love to work with you. What You'll Do Pre-Production & Planning Collaborate with our team to plan shoots, shot lists, and visual direction. Translate creative ideas into clear visual execution. Prepare camera setups, lighting plans, and production logistics. Ensure each shoot is optimized to capture maximum usable content. Filming & Cinematography Capture high-quality video content for ads, social media, YouTube, and brand content. Execute strong composition, lighting, and camera movement to create cinematic visuals. Direct talent and guide framing, pacing, and energy during shoots. Capture a mix of structured shots, cinematic B-roll, and natural moments. Ensure visual consistency across shoots and projects. Post-Production Collaboration Organize footage and ensure clean handover to editors. Collaborate with editors on pacing, narrative flow, and visual style. Provide input on color grading, music, and final look when needed. Ensure the final output aligns with both creative vision and performance goals. What You Bring 2+ years experience as a videographer, cinematographer, or filmmaker. A strong portfolio showing cinematic video work. Deep understanding of lighting, composition, and camera movement. Ability to translate creative ideas into strong visual execution. Experience directing talent or guiding people on camera. You bring your own camera gear and filming equipment. Experience shooting social media, ads, or YouTube content is a big plus. Basic editing knowledge (Premiere, Final Cut, or DaVinci) is helpful but not required. Fluent in Swedish and English. Based in Stockholm, Sweden or able to travel for shoot days. What Success Looks Like 🎥 Content consistently looks professional, cinematic, and engaging. 📈 Videos perform well across ads, YouTube, and social platforms. ⚡ Shoot days run smoothly with efficient production and clear direction. 🎬 Editors receive clean, well-organized footage that’s easy to work with. 🔥 You bring creative ideas that elevate our content and visual identity. What We Offer Flexible freelance collaboration with planned shoot days. Opportunity to work on high-performing brand and social content. Creative freedom to bring your cinematography style and ideas. Close collaboration with a fast-growing creative team and founder. Competitive freelance rates based on experience. The chance to build portfolio-worthy work with strong brands.
