• Shoot and edit both polished campaign assets and quick-turn content for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and other digital platforms.
• Retouch beauty and product imagery to a high professional standard, maintaining accurate skin tones, colors, and product details.
• Edit video content, including color grading, sound, transitions, and platform-specific formatting.
• Help oversee post-production workflows in-house, ensuring consistency, quality, and timely delivery.
• Manage photography and video equipment, lighting setups, files, and digital asset organization.
• Work independently on smaller productions while collaborating with external agencies and production partners on larger projects.
• Stay current with developments in beauty photography, filmmaking, editing techniques, and emerging creative trends.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of professional experience in photography, videography, content production, or a related creative discipline.
• Strong experience shooting beauty, skincare, cosmetics, product, or lifestyle content.
• A compelling portfolio demonstrating both professional still photography and video production.
• Advanced knowledge of lighting, composition, camera systems, and studio photography techniques.
• Strong proficiency in Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere Pro, and professional retouching and editing workflows.
• Experience with Capture One, DaVinci Resolve, After Effects, or similar tools is highly desirable.
• Excellent beauty and product retouching skills, including skin, texture, color accuracy, and product finishing.
• Demonstrated ability to independently shoot, edit, and deliver finished video content.
• Experience creating both campaign-level content and social-first video.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple productions and deadlines.
• Comfortable working in a collaborative, fast-paced in-house creative environment.
