What are the responsibilities and job description for the Photographer position at Wristcheck?
About the Role:
We’re expanding the capabilities of our in-house creative studio, and looking for a highly motivated e-commerce photographer skilled in both product and lifestyle photography. In this role, you’ll focus on capturing images of luxury watches for our e-commerce marketplace and marketing creatives. Your goal will be to accurately showcase the true condition of the watches, helping buyers understand exactly what they’re purchasing. When you’re not taking condition photos, you'll be unleashing your creativity by producing stylish lifestyle images that align with our evolving brand.
We’re looking for someone who is eager to work in a fast-paced, fast-growing startup; has a keen creative eye and a strong understanding of lighting; and who enjoys experimenting with styling and composition to find the best way to capture products and show them in their best light.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys alternating between structured product photography (your main focus) and creative lifestyle shoots. We’re looking to build upon the quality of images you’ll find on our instagram (@wristcheck) and website (wristcheck.com).
