Video Photographer / Content Creator
Shanghai, China
APAC /
Full Time /
On-site
About the Role：
We’re looking for a hybrid Video Photographer who can own the full content creation process—from concepting and shooting to editing and final delivery. This role requires someone equally comfortable producing high-quality studio product videos as well as agile, social-first content optimized for TikTok, Instagram, and beyond.
What You’ll Do
- Lead end-to-end content production: pre-production planning, shooting, post-production editing, and delivery.
- Create both studio-grade product visuals (product videos, key visuals) and social-first content (short-form videos, lifestyle shoots, unboxings, behind-the-scenes).
- Adapt fluidly between tools: professional cameras, lighting setups, or just a smartphone—delivering work that feels current, social-native, and storytelling-driven.
- Handle post-production: video editing, color grading, light motion graphics/typography, sound design, and platform-optimized exports (e-commerce, social, website, print).
- Deliver efficiently: able to capture multiple formats in a single shoot day (e.g., hero product shots, unboxing shorts, and a 9-grid social series).
- Collaborate with Producers, Art Directors, and cross-functional teams to bring creative concepts to life.
- Maintain and organize video assets to ensure brand consistency and reusability.
- Stay on top of global trends in video, photography, and social media formats—and translate those insights into fresh creative expressions for the brand.
What We’re Looking For
- 3 years+ of experience in video production, photography, or visual content creation.
- End-to-end creator skillset: directing, shooting, editing, color grading, subtitles, and basic sound design.
- Proficiency with editing tools (Premiere, Final Cut, After Effects, CapCut, Jianying, or similar).
- Strong awareness of visual and cultural trends across TikTok, Instagram, Xiaohongshu, and other platforms.
- Creative risk-taker: not bound by equipment—able to create compelling work with whatever tools are available.
- Passion for storytelling, curiosity-driven, proactive with fresh ideas, and comfortable iterating quickly.
- Self-motivated and adaptable to fast-paced, international team environments.
- Strong communication skills in both English and Chinese, with the ability to collaborate globally.
- Bonus: experience as a content creator (personal or brand), producing Shot on iPhone-style videos, UGC/PPC content, or fashion/advertising work.
