The Role:
We’re looking for a versatile Photographer who can combine traditional studio skills with today’s agile, social-first mindset.

What You’ll Do:
- End-to-end content creation: Plan, shoot, edit, and deliver high-quality visual assets, including product photography, lifestyle imagery, and social media content.
- Studio product photography: Capture brand-consistent stills in a studio setting for e-commerce, catalog, and campaign needs, with a strong command of lighting, composition, and product detail.
- Agile social content: Shoot with both professional cameras and smartphones to create authentic, trend-aware visuals for social platforms (events, behind-the-scenes, office life, portraits, etc.).
- Post-production: Edit, retouch, and color-correct images to meet brand standards and adapt formats/styles for multiple platforms (e-commerce, web, social, print).
- Creative collaboration: Work closely with Producers and Art Directors on visual concepts and experimental content ideas.
- Asset management: Organize and maintain an image library for efficient reuse across channels.
- Trend-spotting: Stay on top of global photography, design, and social media content trends, bringing fresh ideas into daily work.
What We’re Looking For:
- 3 years+ of professional experience in photography or visual content creation.
- Solid technical and aesthetic foundation; comfortable shooting across diverse settings with both cameras and smartphones.
- Proficiency in Photoshop, Lightroom, and other editing tools.
- Strong awareness of visual trends on Instagram, TikTok, Xiaohongshu, and other emerging platforms.
- Creative and experimental spirit—able to think beyond formulas and use any tool to spark ideas.
- Passion for visual storytelling and content creation, with the drive to pitch and execute new ideas.
- Curious, self-motivated, and adaptable; thrives in a fast-paced, international team environment.
- Strong communication skills in both Chinese and English for global collaboration.
- Bonus: Experience with personal media channels, “Shot on iPhone”-style photography, UGC/PPC content, or fashion/advertising shoots.
