• Creative Alignment: Partner with the Marketing team to ensure product and lifestyle visuals reflect Gibson’s brand standards.
• Integration: Coordinate with G-OPS and Marketing teams to incorporate imagery into production and campaign workflows.
• Consistency: Ensure all images meet high-quality standards in lighting, composition, color, styling, and product accuracy.
• Workflow: Follow studio processes to meet deadlines and sustain productivity in image capture.
• Production Focus: Operate within a structured, production-focused photography setting where efficiency, consistency, and attention to detail are key to meet the high-volume demands.
• Innovation: Research and propose product and lifestyle photography techniques, set concepts, and trends that keep the studio at the forefront of the industry.
• Continuous Improvement: Demonstrate a commitment to improving skills and processes each day, continuously enhancing the quality and efficiency of work to meet evolving standards.

Other duties as assigned.

Skills and Competencies

• Practical expertise with cameras, lighting, grip, sets, surfaces, props, and tethered studio workflows.
• Strong eye for detail, color accuracy, image clarity, product sheen, composition, and styling.

• Ability to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment.
• Demonstrated eagerness to learn and stay current with industry trends while seeking opportunities for personal and professional growth.
• Outstanding time-management skills with the ability to prioritize.
