Product Photographer

Full-time • On-site • Mid-Level (3-5 years experience)
About the Role
We're a marketing and creative agency looking for a Product Photographer to join our in-house creative team. You'll be the person responsible for translating our clients' products into images that sell, scroll-stop, and stand out across e-commerce, social, and ad campaigns. From sleek studio shots to lifestyle setups with personality, you'll own the visual quality of the work that ships.

This is a hands-on role for someone who loves the craft of photography but also thrives in a collaborative agency environment where deadlines are real and creative briefs come from a dozen directions.
What You'll Do

Plan, shoot, and edit high-quality product photography for a diverse client roster spanning e-commerce, CPG, beauty, apparel, and beyond
Set up and operate studio lighting, backdrops, and camera systems for both white-background catalog work and creatively styled lifestyle imagery
Collaborate with art directors, designers, and account managers to interpret briefs and deliver imagery that meets client objectives
Manage post-production: color correction, retouching, compositing, and final delivery in client-ready formats
Maintain and organize the studio space, lighting equipment, props, and digital asset library
Keep an eye on visual trends across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest to push our work forward
Occasionally direct on-location shoots and freelance assistants or stylists when the project calls for it
What You Bring

3-5 years of professional product photography experience, ideally in an agency, studio, or in-house brand environment
A portfolio that shows range: clean catalog work, editorial-leaning lifestyle, and everything in between
Mastery of studio lighting (strobes, continuous, modifiers) and confidence shooting tethered
Strong post-production chops in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom; Capture One experience is a plus
Comfort working with a range of camera systems (we shoot primarily on [insert system])
Excellent time management and the ability to juggle multiple shoots and deadlines without dropping the ball
Strong communication skills and a collaborative spirit-you can take feedback, give it, and keep the work moving
Nice to Have

Experience with video capture and basic motion content for social
Background in styling, prop sourcing, or set design
Familiarity with DAM systems and studio workflow tools
Working knowledge of e-commerce platform image specs (Amazon, Shopify, etc.)
What We Offer

Competitive salary commensurate with experience
Health, dental, and vision benefits
Paid time off and holidays
401(k) with company match
Access to top-tier studio equipment and a creative team that genuinely loves what they do
Opportunities to grow into senior creative roles
