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

Champion your craft

We champion our craft and our team - owning our work, striving for excellence and inspiring each other to do the same.

Seek the truth

We seek out our strengths and weaknesses and accept them - at all times being authentically true to ourselves, and each other.

Create like an artist

We walk in artists’ shoes and embrace creative freedom. We’re curious, passionate and hunt for the deeper meaning.

Play like a child

We give ourselves permission to laugh, play and be vulnerable like we are children again. Humour is valued highly and shared liberally.

Nurture each other

We grow tall by nurturing each other with kindness and compassion. We celebrate, show our gratitude and care with diligence.


Meet your colleagues

Our team is made up of individuals from diverse backgrounds. We are photographers, engineering doctorates, creatives, engineers and we’ve grown to employ talent from companies like Google and Xero. We all share the common trait: being awesome at what we do. Get to know some of us:
