About The Role

We’re looking for a talented, versatile Photographer / Videographer / Editor to join a growing in-house creative team supporting two distinct beauty brands.

This is a hands-on opportunity for an experienced visual storyteller who can produce exceptional still photography and video content, from concept through final delivery.

The ideal candidate has a strong background in beauty, skincare, cosmetics, or lifestyle photography, with the technical expertise and creative instincts to work across polished campaign productions, product imagery, and fast-moving digital and social content.

You’ll play a key role in bringing creative concepts to life, working closely with the Art Director and broader creative team while helping establish efficient, high-quality in-house production capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

• Shoot high-quality still photography and video content for two distinct beauty brands, maintaining their individual creative identities
• Execute product photography, beauty campaigns, textures, swatches, lifestyle imagery, and social-first content
• Manage the full production process, including lighting, camera operation, composition, editing, color correction, retouching, and final delivery
• Collaborate with the Art Director to translate creative concepts, mood boards, and campaign briefs into compelling visual content
• 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

Portfolio Requirements

As part of your application, please provide:

• A portfolio demonstrating your still photography, particularly beauty, skincare, cosmetics, or product imagery
• Examples of video content you have personally shot and edited, including campaign and social content where available
• Examples of your retouching or post- production work
• A brief description of your involvement in the work submitted, including which elements you personally photographed, filmed, edited, or retouched

We are especially interested in candidates who can demonstrate genuine hands-on expertise across both photography and videography.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a highly capable visual creative who is equally comfortable behind the camera and in the editing suite.

You should have a sophisticated eye for beauty, lighting, composition, and visual storytelling, combined with the technical skills to produce exceptional work independently.

You’ll thrive in an environment where some projects require polished, campaign- quality execution while others call for quick, creative, social-first production.

Experience working with independent or emerging beauty brands is a plus, as is the ability to bring fresh ideas and resourceful production solutions to a growing in-house team.

Work Arrangement

This is a hybrid position based in New York City, requiring three days per week in the office.

Benefits

The anticipated salary range for this role is $100,000 - $130,000 annually. Ranges are based on various factors including the labor market, job type, internal equity, and budget. Exact offers are calibrated by work location, individual candidate experience, and skills relative to the defined job requirements.

This is a hybrid role requiring flexibility to work in office and remotely. Evening or weekend work may occasionally be required during major projects.

We offer a competitive benefits package including major medical, dental and vision insurance, FSA, HSA, and employee discounts.
