Manage studio lighting setups (softboxes), style jewelry arrangements, and maintain a pristine, organized studio environment.

Who We Are Looking For Currently enrolled in or holding a degree in Photography, Design, Film, or a related field. Minimum 2+ years of photography experience, preferably in product photography. Experienced in operating mirrorless cameras (we use the Sony Alpha a7C II) with a strong foundation in manual settings and studio lighting. Highly proficient in Adobe Lightroom Classic, Photoshop, and Mac OS. You have a keen eye for minimalist design, negative space, and color harmony, with a genuine appreciation for nature and fine details. What We Offer Your work will be highly visible. If selected, your photography will be featured directly on our Shopify homepage, official marketing campaigns, and within our upcoming retail store in Irvine, CA—allowing you to build a comprehensive commercial portfolio before graduation. Learn the business side of commercial photography, e-commerce visual strategy, and brand building directly from our leadership team. Work in a collaborative, creative environment with flexible scheduling and a complimentary daily meal provided in Irvine.
