Photographer

Meyer Vallejo, California

This is a production-volume role with a creative eye. Execute photo shoots across product, lifestyle, and campaign formats — in-studio and on location — working from shot lists and creative direction provided by management.Shoot a high volume of SKUs per collection cycle — maintaining consistent quality, lighting, and styling across large product sets and extended shoot days.Collaborate on set with the Senior Content Producer, stylists, and other crew as needed, staying focused on creative output while production logistics are managed around you.Contribute a strong eye to on-set styling and composition decisions, flagging anything that doesn't read correctly before it becomes a post-production fix. Own the full technical setup and breakdown of each shoot — camera rigging, lighting builds, grip equipment, and all supporting hardware — ensuring the set is ready to execute management’s direction without technical delay.Manage tethered capture and on-set media throughout the shoot day: maintaining the live connection for real-time review, handling in-progress backups, and ensuring all assets are protected and accounted for from capture to wrap.Perform ongoing technical QC during the shoot — reviewing frames for focus, exposure, and color consistency before moving to the next setup. 3+ years of professional photography experience with a portfolio demonstrating strong product and lifestyle work — consumer goods, housewares, or CPG experience preferred.Technical command of studio lighting — strobe, continuous, and mixed — including lighting builds from scratch, modifier selection, and real-time adjustments across changing setups and product types.Hands-on experience managing the full technical operation of a shoot: camera rigging, grip equipment, tethered capture setup, and on-set media management.Proficiency in Lightroom for culling, cataloging, and color grading; solid understanding of RAW file management, tethering software (Capture One or equivalent), and on-set digital workflow.Comfortable with high-volume production: able to maintain quality and consistency across large SKU sets and back-to-back shoot days without losing focus.Strong understanding of how photography serves downstream use — what post-production needs in a clean handoff, how assets will be used by designers, and what different channel formats require.Takes creative direction well and executes it with precision; brings a strong eye to the work without overriding the AD's vision.Reliable and organized: media is backed up, drives are properly labeled, and the technical side of the shoot never creates downstream problems. The role involves regular use of standard office equipment as well as active on-set environments.
