Work with us


Narrative is home to builders, risk-takers, artists, and storytellers. Our products are designed to empower the everyday modern photographer.


Shape the future of photography

Since our launch in 2019, we’ve acquired thousands of loyal photographers from across the world. As one of NZ’s leading AI companies, we use leading-edge technology and have a tech stack that most developers dream of.

Our team is located in Auckland, New Zealand. We’re backed by some of the biggest US and NZ based VCs.


Our guiding values

We're Daring

Daring to do, we step up to the plate, even if no-one asked. We act decisively to make brave and bold choices. We push the boundaries of innovation, intrepidly exploring on unknown shores.

We're Nimble

 Our agility helps us have the greatest impact. We strive for efficiency with a pragmatic approach in order to extract maximum value. We have the flexibility to pivot and adapt to new challenges and seize new opportunities.

We're Curious

Photographers are at our core. We strive to understand how they work, think and feel. Our deep empathy roots us in their world, so we feel every pain-point as our own. This means we can deliver the best solutions and make the strongest connections.

We're a Fellowship

Our bond is forged by respect and trust. Because we respect each other, we can be honest with each other. Honesty leads to trust. Trust allows any voice to speak without fear, collaboration to thrive and fun to flow.
