Job description

Our partner, a family-owned luxury fine jewelry company, is seeking a Product Photographer & Videographer to join their growing team. This role is ideal for a skilled product photographer with real video capability who thrives in a high-volume studio and takes pride in being dependable.

Because they specialize in vintage and estate jewelry, nearly every piece is one of a kind and must be photographed before it can go live. They list roughly 60 new products each week with up to six images per piece, so this role produces 360+ images weekly while holding a true luxury standard. Photography is the core of the role, with video as an important complement.

Success in this role means hitting the weekly deadlines, planning ahead so nothing slips, and finding the balance between great quality and getting product out the door.

You will be joining at an exciting time. We are doubling the size of our Beverly Hills studio and expanding into more model shoots and marketing content.
