Commercial Product Photographer

Commercial Product Photographer  Based in a large, dedicated studio in Medford, this is an in-house role where your work ends up on retail packaging, major retailer websites, and store shelves across the country. You'll be one of two photographers, reporting to the VP, Creative Director – shooting a varied mix of SKUs, styling lifestyle setups, and delivering polished, production-ready files that meet exacting packaging and e-commerce standards. WHAT YOU'LL SHOOT Studio craft – White / silo product photography: Spec-accurate still-life on white. Precision and consistency are the standard – every time. Creative range – Lifestyle & contextual imagery: Prop-styled tabletop and in-context scenes – where a sharp styling eye matters as much as the camera.  DAY-TO-DAY RESPONSIBILITIES Consistently deliver retail and e-commerce-ready imagery across a broad range of home décor and tabletop products Capture and build lifestyle and in-context imagery using physical props, surface styling, and enough creative judgment to develop direction when it isn't fully defined Shoot tethered in Capture One in a medium format studio environment; own full post-production through final delivery – background work, color correction, compositing, and retouching Coordinate with Graphic Design and product teams on shot specs and layouts before each shoot Source props, surfaces, and styling elements for lifestyle setups Keep file management tight: naming conventions, folder structure, and clean asset handoff Maintain studio organization and equipment in good working order WHAT YOU BRING A portfolio that demonstrates both clean silo work and styled lifestyle setups – links required with application 3–5 years of professional product photography experience, ideally in-house at a consumer brand, retailer, or commercial studio Mastery of Capture One for tethered shooting, color grading, and batch processing – experience with Phase One medium format systems required, comfortable in a Mac environment Advanced Photoshop skills: compositing, masking, and color correction – you know the difference between "looks right on screen" and "prints correctly on packaging" A strong first pass in camera is as important to you as what happens in post A tabletop styling sensibility – an eye for surfaces, materials, and context that makes a lifestyle scene look natural rather than assembled Hands-on experience with studio strobe lighting; you can build, adjust, and troubleshoot a setup independently You follow advances in capture technology, lighting, and digital tools including AI – and you're interested in where they can take the work Calm and precise when it counts most – fast turnarounds and high-visibility projects don't change the quality standard
