Solid understanding of photography, lenses, perspective and camera matching.
Ability to create believable reflections, contact shadows and environmental interaction.
Basic compositing and image-finishing skills (Photoshop or similar).
A sharp eye for materials, proportion and composition.
Comfortable collaborating and iterating in a creative production environment.
Nice to Have:
Experience with AI-generated imagery or generative AI workflows.
Experience with VFX integration techniques.
Portfolio:
Please include a portfolio showing high-end photorealistic product work. Examples of CG products integrated into photographic environments are especially valuable.
