This role will be responsible for producing high-quality, brand-aligned photography that supports eCommerce, training, marketing campaigns, digital sales, partnerships, and internal communications.

The ideal candidate is both a skilled photographer and strong post-production editor, with experience managing shoots end-to-end—from concept and shot list development through final delivery. This role requires a balance of creative vision, technical execution, and production management, with experience photographing products, people, and real-world lifestyle scenarios. Experience with firearms and shooting environments gives you an edge.

Partner with Creative Director, designers, and marketers to translate creative briefs into compelling visual concepts.
Develop detailed shot lists, mood boards, and visual references aligned to brand guidelines.
Provide on-set art direction to ensure consistency in lighting, composition, and brand tone.
Maintain a consistent visual style across all channels and departments.

Photo Editing & Post-Production:

Perform professional-level photo editing and retouching (color correction, compositing, cleanup, consistency).
Prepare optimized assets for use across web, eCommerce, paid media, print, and social platforms.
Maintain and evolve post-production workflows for efficiency and quality.

Production Management:

Own photography production planning including scheduling, location coordination, talent and subject management, and equipment preparation.
Manage asset organization, naming conventions, and archival systems.
Collaborate cross-functionally to anticipate upcoming content needs and plan shoots proactively.

Cross-Functional Support:

Support multiple departments including eCommerce & Store, Training, Marketing & Brand, Digital Sales, and Partnerships & PR.
Serve as a trusted creative partner, enabling faster turnaround and higher-quality deliverables.
