About the role

CatFace is looking for a part-time In-House Product Photographer to create clean, consistent, high-quality product imagery for our website and marketing channels. You'll own the in-house shoot process-from setup to breakdown-and deliver retouched, web-ready assets (including cutouts and PNGs) on schedule. You'll collaborate closely with Marketing (mood boards, creative direction) and Merch (samples, deadlines), and you'll be comfortable receiving feedback.

Key responsibilities

In-house product photography (on-site shoots)

Own day-to-day product photography for CatFace's website, ensuring consistent, high-quality imagery across launches and restocks.

• Photograph products in-house for e-commerce/web use (dynamic angles + any needed detail shots).
• Manage studio workflow end-to-end: product prep, lighting/camera setup, staging, set up + break down.
• Maintain shot consistency and visual standards (lighting, exposure, composition, brand look).
• Keep products and files organized so shoots run smoothly and nothing goes missing.

Editing + web asset delivery (edit from home)

Prepare polished, web-ready files that meet CatFace standards and upload requirements.

• Retouch and edit images in Adobe Photoshop (or related Adobe software).
• Create background cutouts and transparent PNGs as needed.
• Export correct formats and sizes for the website (including clean crops, cutoffs, and naming conventions).
• Respond to feedback, revise selects, and turn updates quickly.

Marketing support (deadlines + creative alignment)

Partner with Marketing to ensure photos support campaigns.

• Collaborate on mood boards/shot direction to match campaign needs.
• Track photography deadlines tied to launches, promos, and seasonal moments.
• Share status updates and flag risks early (missing samples, reshoots, retouch complexity, timeline conflicts).
• Work collaboratively during reviews-iterate based on feedback from photoshoots.

Events & conventions coverage (occasional travel)

Capture on-brand content in fast-paced environments during assigned events/conventions.

• Travel occasionally to events and conventions to photograph booth/product/brand moments as needed.
• Deliver selects and edited assets on agreed timelines post-event.
• Pack/prep gear and ensure efficient setup for on-location shooting.

Merch coordination (samples only: shipping/receiving)

Coordinate with Merch strictly for sample logistics needed for photography.

• Coordinate shipping/receiving of product samples for shoots (tracking, confirmations, basic handoff).
• Maintain visibility on what's incoming, what's overdue, and what's needed next.
• Communicate sample delays that affect shoot schedules and marketing deadlines.

Qualifications

Required

• Product photography experience (in-house, studio, or e-commerce).
• Photo editing/retouching experience with strong attention to detail.
• Proficiency in Adobe Photoshop (or related Adobe editing software).
• Experience producing clean cutouts and transparent PNGs for web use.
• Strong organization and ability to meet deadlines consistently.
• Comfortable receiving feedback and collaborating cross-functionally.

Nice to have

• Experience shooting at events and conventions.
• Familiarity with e-commerce image standards.
• Tethered shooting experience (Capture One/Lightroom) and basic color correction.

Skills that make someone successful

• Consistency brain: you can match lighting/angles/edit style across many SKUs.
• Retouch confidence: clean cutouts, polished edits, and fast revisions without quality slipping.
• Deadline-friendly: you plan ahead, communicate early, and deliver on time.
• Team collaborator: you take direction well, share progress clearly, and iterate without ego.
• Logistics aware: you can coordinate samples/receiving so shoots don't stall.

Reporting & collaboration

Example deliverables (what you'll own or co-own)

• Retouched selects with revision rounds based on feedback
• Weekly shoot/edit pipeline updates aligned to marketing deadlines
• Sample tracking notes (what's received/needed) to keep shoots unblocked
• Event/convention photo coverage with post-event edited asset delivery
