About the Role

At Chemical Guys, we don't just sell car care products—we build a visual world that sparks obsession. We are seeking a Product & Lifestyle Photographer who is equal parts meticulous technician and imaginative creator.

This is an in-house role for a seasoned professional who has moved past the freelance-only stage and understands the speed, precision, and collaboration required in a high-volume corporate creative department. You need to be the \"McGyver\" of the studio: someone who can use a mix of traditional lighting mastery and modern AI tools to deliver million-dollar visuals, even when manpower is lean.

What You'll Do

• High-End Product Capture: Shoot and edit premium product imagery for eCommerce, retail packaging, and print, ensuring a bold, high-contrast aesthetic that makes our products look like luxury assets.
• Dynamic Lifestyle Storytelling: Stage and capture high-energy \"in-use\" photography at car washes, retail partners, or on-location sets (approx. 5–10% local travel).
• AI-Enhanced Workflow: Use Generative AI (including Adobe Firefly, Nano Banana 2, and Midjourney) as a digital assistant to expand backgrounds, perform complex retouching, and create hyper-realistic composites that elevate your physical shots.
• End-to-End Ownership: Own the entire process—from advanced strobe lighting and set styling to post-production and final server uploads.
• Resourceful Problem Solving: Navigate tight deadlines and lean setups by being extremely resourceful with gear, lighting, and digital tools to ensure the \"hero shot\" is never missed.

• Tech-Forward: You are proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Lightroom, Bridge) and have integrated AI tools into your retouching and compositing workflow to save time and increase quality.
• Adaptable & Scrappy: You don't need a 10-person crew to get the job done. You can direct talent, style the product, and manage the gear efficiently on your own.
• Available for the \"Golden Hour\": While mostly 9-to-5, you are open to occasional evening/weekend shoots (approx. 5%) to capture specific lighting or event conditions.

Technical Toolkit

• Expert: Strobe Lighting, Product Styling, Photoshop, Lightroom, Capture One.
• Advanced: Adobe Firefly, Nano Banana 2, Generative Fill, and AI-driven upscaling.
