Product Photographer & Retoucher

Collingwood, Victoria, Australia

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 seeking a photographer to capture our growing product range in the best light and retouch imagery to ensure our customers have a world-class online experience. Blending meticulous studio shots with opportunities for on-location lifestyle photography, you'll work alongside our talented in-house creative team to create images that bring our products to life.

This role offers a change from the unpredictable pace of agency or freelance work. In this full-time role, you’ll have the consistency of a fully equipped studio, a thoughtful process, and an awesome team to work alongside. Our products stay within our range for many years, well beyond the months or seasons of other fashion brands so we care about the details.

If you thrive on precision, perfecting angles, shaping silhouettes, and refining details like leather textures and fabric hues, this role is for you. Bring us your steady hand, eye for detail, and passion for beautiful imagery. In return, we’ll provide the environment and resources to support the development of your craft.

  • A strong understanding of studio photography and lighting 
  • Professional level post-production and retouching - Photoshop
  • Experience of shooting tethered to Capture One
  • A high level of attention to detail
  • A drive to consistently deliver polished, high-quality work
  • 2-5 years of experience shooting e-commerce product photography 
  • Experience shooting lifestyle photography on location
  • The ability to work methodically and enjoy taking a project from start to finish
  • The desire to work for a product business doing great things
  • An interest in AI and ways to automate workflows
