This Camera Brand Will Pay You to Live and Create in Hong Kong

For photographers and content creators who have ever wondered what it would be like to turn a camera into a passport, Flashback has an unusual job opening.

The role is open to applicants from anywhere in the world and is centered on creating content for Flashback while working alongside its team. The position combines photography, video, social media, travel, and behind the scenes production, making it less of a traditional desk job and more of an opportunity to document the brand’s work from inside the team.

What the Flashback Content Creator Will Do

The successful applicant will work across Flashback’s social media and video output. The responsibilities include creating content for its social channels, appearing on camera and helping produce a weekly video series.

The role also involves capturing behind the scenes moments during shoots and campaigns, supporting brand projects and travelling with the team. Part of the job will be turning those experiences into content that helps tell the Flashback story.

Applicants are also encouraged to bring their own ideas to the role and contribute to building the company’s community.

That means the position is not limited to someone who can operate a camera or edit a video. Flashback says it is looking for someone who can tell stories through content and contribute creatively to the brand’s output.

You Do Not Need a Perfect Résumé

Flashback says professional experience and a lengthy résumé are not the main requirements for the position.

Instead, the company is looking for creativity, personality, energy and initiative. Applicants should be comfortable both behind and in front of the camera and have examples of content that demonstrate their ability to tell a story.

That could make the opening particularly interesting for creators who have built their portfolios through personal projects, social media or independent work rather than traditional photography or media jobs.

A Paid Opportunity in Hong Kong

The initial position runs for three to six months. Flashback says there may be an opportunity to stay longer if the arrangement works for both the creator and the company.

The company will cover rent and relocation costs, while the role itself is paid. The announcement does not specify the salary or provide further details about the relocation package.

The position will involve travelling with the Flashback team, giving the selected creator opportunities to produce content from different locations while documenting the company’s work.

Flashback describes itself as a digital camera brand that combines the nostalgic experience of film photography with modern technology. Its products are designed around the tactile experience associated with classic film cameras.

How to Apply

Applicants are asked to submit a one minute video introducing themselves and explaining why they are suitable for the role. They also need to provide examples of content they have created and a portfolio if they have one.

Applications are open to people worldwide through Flashback’s application form.

For creators who have been looking for an excuse to pack their camera gear and spend a few months making content in Hong Kong, this might be the job worth checking out.
