Independent Contractor (1099) About Us Midsole Marketing is a family-owned marketing agency based in Columbus, Ohio, built on creativity, a passion for helping businesses grow, and a love for pushing boundaries. We craft strategies, dive deep into brands, and deliver content that makes a real impact, and we're now expanding our reach into the Cleveland market. About the Role We're looking for a talented, Cleveland-based photographer and videographer to join us on a contract basis, supporting two ongoing client accounts in the area. This is a technical, craft-driven role, not a social media personality role. We need someone with a sharp eye for architecture and interior spaces, someone who knows how to use light, line, and composition to make a room or building feel like it's telling a story. You'll work closely with our Columbus team remotely while operating independently on the ground in Cleveland, capturing content that brings our clients' spaces to life. Key Responsibilities Plan and capture high-quality architectural, interior, and lifestyle photo and video content for two Cleveland-area clients. Edit and deliver polished, brand-ready assets quickly, formatted for social media, websites, YouTube, and paid ad campaigns. Collaborate remotely with our Columbus team to align on creative direction, shot lists, and brand standards. Work with the project manager on shoot scheduling and on-site logistics for each client. Maintain consistency and a professional eye across every space you shoot. Organize and deliver content libraries in an easy-to-access, well-labeled format. What We're Looking For A strong portfolio specifically showcasing architecture and/or interior photography (real estate, hospitality, commercial, or residential spaces). Proficiency in photo and video editing tools (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Lightroom, or equivalent). Fast, efficient editing turnaround, able to produce platform-ready content for social media, websites, YouTube, and ad campaigns without sacrificing quality. Based in or near Cleveland, OH, with reliable transportation to client sites. Comfortable working independently and managing your own schedule. Strong communication skills for staying aligned with a remote creative team. An eye for detail, lighting, and composition in built and interior spaces. Preferred Qualifications Prior experience photographing architecture, interior design, or real estate. Drone photography/videography experience Familiarity with graphic design tools like Adobe Photoshop or Canva. Experience working as a freelance or contract creative.
Must be local to the greater Cleveland area for on-site shoots.
Schedule:
Flexible, coordinated around client shoot windows.
Rate:
$50 to $85 per hour, depending on experience and portfolio quality. Why Work With Midsole Marketing? Join a growing, family-owned agency known for creativity and genuine care for its clients and team. Build a steady, ongoing relationship with a marketing team looking to grow in the Cleveland area, not a one-off gig. Creative freedom to bring your own eye and style to every shoot. Room to grow into more projects as our Cleveland presence expands.
