Role Description:
WOLFpak is seeking a versatile Product/Apparel Photographer who can effectively showcase our products and brand personality through compelling imagery. This role involves shooting high-quality product photography for e-commerce, campaigns, and marketing, as well as capturing the energy of our lifestyle and apparel through dynamic visuals.
We’re excited to offer this opportunity if you’re the right fit! To start, we’d like to bring you on as soon as possible on a three-month 1099 contract at a rate of $257.90 per day. After that, we’ll discuss the possibility of transitioning into a full-time role.
We take this approach so both sides can evaluate fit. Since this is a key creative role and chemistry can be hard to gauge in interviews alone, we prefer a working trial to ensure mutual success.

- Content Creation: Produce visuals for social platforms, email marketing, paid ads, and storytelling.
- Creative Collaboration: Work with the marketing and design teams on shot concepts, mood boards, styling, and locations.
- Post-Production: Edit and retouch photos to meet brand standards and campaign objectives.
- Media Management: Organize and deliver assets efficiently and professionally.
- Trend Awareness: Stay current on photography, lighting, and content trends relevant to apparel and product imagery.
SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS:
- Proven experience in both product and lifestyle photography (portfolio required)
- Strong understanding of lighting, composition, and storytelling
- Proficient in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop; Premiere/After Effects a plus
- Comfortable with location shoots, studio setups, and fast-paced environments
- Capable of editing and delivering polished content on tight timelines
- Highly organized with good communication and creative flexibility
- Passion for branding, fashion, and active lifestyle photography is a bonus
