The Photographer / Shooter is a senior capture specialist responsible for delivering world-class photographic content across e-commerce, editorial, and campaign environments. Embedded within the Content Production team, this role leads high-quality image capture while supporting multi-format productions that may include video and live components.

This role combines strong aesthetic sensibility with technical mastery. While photography is the primary focus, the Photographer / Shooter is also capable of operating professional video camera systems in multi-camera environments when required. Working closely with Creative Directors, Producers, Directors of Photography, and Post Production, this role ensures that all captured content meets the highest creative and technical standards.

This is a hands-on role for a visual storyteller who understands both product precision and artist-driven creative expression—and who thrives in a high-volume, high-expectation production environment.

• Partner with Grip & Equipment and Studio teams to ensure stage readiness and efficient shoot execution.
• Review captures in real time to ensure quality, exposure accuracy, and alignment with creative expectations.
• Contribute to evolving lighting approaches, capture techniques, and workflow improvements.
• Maintain organized file structures and coordinate clean handoffs to Post Production.
