What I Do - Meet Zoe, Roper Rhodes Senior Content Producer
Meet our in-house Senior Content Producer, stylist and set designer, Zoe, the face behind our stunning product photography.
What Is Your Role At Roper Rhodes?
I love my job. I’m the in-house Stylist here at Roper Rhodes, and I drive the creative look and feel throughout all of our brands with the aim to deliver visual content across all our touch points from our website, social platforms to brochures. I work with a very talented and hardworking team of photographers, set builders and suppliers, as well as our in-house designers and graphics studio. Together we ensure our customers know every last detail about our products before they purchase.
To stay on top of my game I research and develop techniques for shooting new product categories and projects. This means I have to keep abreast of the latest interior trends which impact on current bathroom looks – I eat, sleep and breathe interiors. I love going to trade shows and I’m forever scoping out interiors blogs, Instagram, Pinterest and interiors magazines in pursuit of the next new thing. This helps to build up a sourcebook for the next project.
How Did You Get Here?
It was a bit of a happy accident…It wasn’t something I had professionally trained in, but I had a keen eye and a natural leaning towards the creative element of my role. As the company grew, the demand for more and more lifestyle and product photography developed and now demands most of my time.
What Do You Most Enjoy About Your Role?
I love the creativity and diversity of my role, whether it is from sourcing locations, model castings or fine-tuning the art of creating exciting interior schemes.
The thing I love most about my role is devising the creative brief and then seeing the finished result – when you pull together all the different elements and it all falls into place. It creates something special.
