How We’re Built
People
How we’re built.
Small on purpose. A core team, a collective of photographers, and an event crew that flexes with the calendar. Here’s the whole shape, including the seats we’re still filling.
Three companies, one team
Three connected businesses. The same people work across all of them.
Mammoth
Custom photo ops and event media for brands.
Portrait Booth
Portrait booths for weddings and social events, self-serve or with a host.
BrandStudio
The software that delivers every photo instantly.
The shape
Top to bottom, this is the whole company. Anything with a Hiring tag is a seat you could take.
Founder and lead photographer
Bill Hamway
Photography, lighting, technology and guest experience; he builds the systems and does quality control on everything.

Outside the org chart
The Collective
Freelance photographers who keep their own business. For live event work Mammoth is their booking agent — we handle the clients, the contracts, and the logistics — and clients can book them by name.
Open seats, in hiring order
Every seat, hire order first. Event crew and Collective roles sit at the bottom because we hire those whenever the right person turns up.
Graphic Designer
Fun, on-brand graphics for photo ops: overlays, branded frames, print designs, backdrop scenes. No boring banners.

Why small
Why have three-person teams when you can have one really awesome person?
You’re hiring our personalities and our body of work, not whoever’s available.
