  • Set up and manage studio strobes, modifiers, and on-location lighting equipment
  • Capture and tether images using Capture One
  • Perform high-end retouching and color correction in Adobe Photoshop
  • Retouch products, apparel, models, environments, and lifestyle imagery while maintaining a natural, polished look
  • Ensure consistency across lighting, color, composition, and visual style
  • Organize, tag, archive, and maintain files within the company’s Digital Asset Management system
  • Collaborate with the creative and marketing teams on concepts, shot lists, styling, and deliverables
  • Participate in pre-production planning, shoot execution, post-production, and final asset delivery
  • Prepare final assets for web, social media, email, paid advertising, and print
  • Meet weekly production goals while maintaining a high standard of quality and consistency
  • Follow established file naming, editing, export, and production workflows
  • Maintain, organize, and troubleshoot camera and lighting equipment within the Canon ecosystem
  • Contribute creative ideas and solutions as part of a small, collaborative team
What You Bring
  • Proven experience as a photographer and retoucher, preferably in product, lifestyle, fashion, fitness, or e-commerce photography
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating both photography and professional retouching skills
  • Proficiency with studio strobes and on-location lighting techniques
  • Advanced working knowledge of Capture One and Adobe Photoshop
  • Strong understanding of color correction, compositing, masking, skin retouching, product cleanup, and image finishing
  • Familiarity with Digital Asset Management systems and professional file organization practices
  • Understanding of a complete production workflow, from concept development through final asset delivery
  • A highly detail-oriented approach with a strong eye for composition, color, texture, and consistency
  • Comfortable working within the Canon camera ecosystem
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and meet weekly deadlines in a fast-paced environment
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills
  • Ability to take direction while also contributing thoughtful creative ideas
  • A team player who enjoys working closely with a small, creative crew
  • A love of music and good energy on set is a plus
Why WOLFpak
  • Join a close-knit creative team where your work directly shapes how the WOLFpak brand appears in the world. We value craftsmanship, collaboration, consistency, and creative problem-solving.
