Open positions

Brooklyn Film Camera is looking for a graphic designer to work with us on an as-needed basis. The work varies. One month it might be packaging for our boxes, the next it's hero images for the site, social graphics, signage for the shop, or promo material for an event. Project volume goes up and down depending on what the business needs, so this is a good fit for a freelancer with room in their schedule rather than someone looking for fixed weekly hours. What we're looking for: A portfolio that shows range across print and digital. Comfort working inside an existing brand system (we have a defined palette, type, and voice, and we care about it). Fast, clean turnaround on smaller pieces, and the ability to take a loose brief and come back with something considered. Bonus points if you shoot film or care about analog photography, since you'll be designing for people who do.

Fill out our application form and we will be in touch.

We're always looking for skilled camera technicians. Our techs covers a wide range: 35mm SLRs and rangefinders, point and shoots, medium format, TLRs, SX-70 and other Polaroid cameras, and lenses. You might be a generalist or deep in one system. Tell us what you're good at and maybe we'll build the role around it. Pay is $56,000 to $80,000 depending on expertise and experience.

Responsibilities

• Diagnose and repair cameras on our bench
• Perform CLAs, shutter work, light seal replacement, and calibration
• Test and verify repairs against factory specifications
• Document work performed so customers and the team have a clear record
• Help maintain quality standards across everything that leaves the shop
• Work with the team on tricky diagnoses and share what you know

Requirements

• Real repair experience on film cameras, whether shop-trained or self-taught
• Comfortable working precisely with small mechanical assemblies
• Able to diagnose problems methodically rather than by guesswork
• Careful documentation habits
• Honest about what you can and can't fix, and willing to learn the rest

Nice to have

• Depth in a specific system: Leica, Hasselblad, SX-70, Nikon, Canon, medium format, or others
• Electronics and circuit-level troubleshooting
• Machining or fabrication for parts that are no longer available
