Studio Photographer + Retoucher

IN A NUTSHELL

We’re a design brand, so visuals matter. We take pride in the way our products are made, and beautiful, meticulous product photography is key to getting that across to our customers. We’re looking for an emerging photographer to capture our growing product range in the best light and retouch imagery to ensure our customers have a world-class online experience.

Someone who works methodically, reveling in the process with an eye for finessing the details. Examples are working with overlays to match angles, shaping  products on set to achieve the accurate silhouettes and using our archive of props to personify product internals. A single product (with multiple SKUs) can require 100+ images, and post-production requires a certain eye and care. With leather scratches to retouch, fabric creases to lighten, loose threads to eliminate and material colors to match, it’s the details that matter and getting them right is something you genuinely enjoy. While being in the studio and retouching with your headphones on might be your happy space, (and something you will do a lot of) you also love bouncing off others and working within our wider Creative team to achieve greater goals.  

Bring us your precision, steady hand and love of details. In return, we’ll provide you with a fully equipped studio, a great team to work with and the tools to do great work.
