Reporting To: CMD / Senior Management
About the Role
Della Group is looking for a highly creative, agile and proactive Head Photography & Videography who can capture, create and deliver compelling visual content for Mr. Jimmy Mistry, Della Townships and the entire Della Group.
This is far more than a photography or videography role.
We are looking for someone who “knows more than the lens they hold” — someone who understands people, moments, messaging, brand positioning, storytelling, composition, light, movement and social media.
The person should be able to look beyond simply taking a good photograph or shooting a good video and understand:
What needs to be captured. Why it needs to be captured. How it should be captured. What message it should convey. And how it should make the CMD and the Della brand look and feel.
The individual will travel extensively with the CMD and across Della's projects, events, townships and businesses, creating real-time photographs, videos, reels and social-first content for immediate use by the Social Media team.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Photography & Videography – End to End
- Lead all photography and videography requirements for the CMD and Della Group.
- Shoot professional photographs, videos, reels, interviews, events, behind-the-scenes content and social media assets.
- Handle the complete process from concept shoot editing final output delivery.
- Ensure all visual content reflects Della's premium and luxury positioning.
- Maintain high standards of composition, framing, lighting, sound and visual storytelling.
1. Travel with the CMD
- Travel with the CMD as required for meetings, site visits, events, travel, launches and other engagements.
- Be constantly alert to opportunities to capture meaningful content.
- Understand when to photograph/video without disrupting the CMD's schedule or interactions.
- Capture both planned and spontaneous moments authentically and professionally.
- Ensure important moments are not missed.
1. Real-Time Content Delivery
- Provide photographs, videos and reels to the Social Media team on a real-time basis.
- Ensure content is shot, edited and transferred quickly enough to support immediate posting.
- Coordinate closely with the Head – Social Media and digital team.
- Maintain a structured and easily accessible content library.
- Ensure important events and moments have sufficient content coverage.
1. CMD Personal Branding
- Create visual content that strengthens the personal brand and digital presence of Mr. Jimmy Mistry.

- Understand pacing, transitions, music, captions, hooks and storytelling.
- Produce content suitable for Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube and other relevant platforms.
- Adapt content into different formats and aspect ratios as required.
1. Proactive Content Thinking
The successful candidate must be highly proactive and observant. They should not wait for:
“Please take this photograph.”
or
“Please shoot this video.”
Instead, they should instinctively recognise:
- This is a great moment.
- This conversation should be captured.
- This location should be filmed.
- This development needs to be documented.
- This person should be photographed.
- This moment can become a powerful Reel.
- This story can strengthen the Della brand.
1. Understand the Message Behind the Lens
The individual must understand that visuals communicate. Every photograph and video should answer:
What are we trying to say?
The person should have the ability to translate a business objective, leadership message, luxury experience or brand story into powerful visual content.
