Work Experience Photography jobs in Greater Adelaide SA

Hutt Street Photos is an established photographic lab and print store in Adelaide, specialising in film processing, scanning, photographic printing, framing and the preservation of photographic and historical media.

We’re looking for a friendly, reliable and genuinely interested person to join our team. This is primarily a front-of-house and customer service role, with the opportunity to develop practical skills in photographic lab work, film processing, scanning and photographic archiving over time.

You’ll be working directly with customers, helping them with film drop-offs, printing and scanning orders, framing enquiries, digital files and general photographic services. As your knowledge and confidence develop, there will be opportunities to learn more of the technical side of the business.

The role will initially involve:

• Providing excellent, friendly and professional customer service
• Serving customers in-store and answering enquiries
• Taking in and processing film, print and scanning orders
• Helping customers choose appropriate printing, scanning and finishing options
• Operating our point-of-sale and order systems
• Preparing and organising customer orders
• Maintaining a clean, organised and welcoming shop
• Handling photographic materials carefully and accurately
• Learning the basics of film photography, photographic printing and scanning

Opportunities to learn over time:

For the right person, we’re keen to provide training and gradually introduce you to more specialised areas of the business, including:

• Film processing and photographic lab operations
• Film scanning and digital file preparation
• Photographic printing
• Working with different film formats and photographic processes
• Digitising and preserving older photographic media
• Archiving photographs, negatives, slides and other historical formats
• Understanding photographic equipment, materials and techniques

What we’re looking for:

You don’t necessarily need previous professional photography or lab experience. What matters most is your attitude, willingness to learn and genuine interest in the work.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has excellent customer service and communication skills
• Is friendly, approachable and confident dealing with customers
• Has an interest in photography, particularly film photography but not neccesary
• Has an interest in photographic history, archives and preserving old media
• Is organised and pays close attention to detail
• Can work independently while also being part of a small team
• Is comfortable learning technical processes and following procedures
• Takes pride in their work and looks after customers’ photographs and personal material carefully
• Is reliable, punctual and willing to learn

Previous experience in retail, customer service, photography, photo labs, archives, libraries or similar environments would be beneficial, but is not essential.

This is an opportunity to work in a specialist photographic business rather than a conventional retail environment. The role can develop with the right person, with the potential to take on more responsibility and technical lab work as your skills and knowledge grow.

If you’re passionate about photography, enjoy working with people and are interested in keeping photographic history alive, we’d like to hear from you.
