Product Photographer — Amazon Listing + Lifestyle - Contract to Hire
• *Type:
Ongoing ·
Location:** US-based only (we ship product to you) ## About the project We're a growing drink mix brand (zero-sugar electrolyte powder in glossy stand-up pouches). We're looking for one photographer to become our go-to for all product photography going forward — new SKUs, flavor launches, seasonal lifestyle refreshes, and A+ content. This is not a one-off; we want someone we can keep shipping product to for the next year or more. First project: 4 SKUs. We ship you 2 bags of each. You shoot, retouch, and deliver finished files. Product is yours to keep after. ## Pay structure
- *Per approved photo.** You shoot the brief, send proofs, we select the ones we like and pay per final delivered image. Tell us your per-photo rate for (a) white-background listing shots and (b) styled lifestyle shots — they can be priced differently. Volume is steady if the work is good.
## What we need (first project)
- *Per SKU (×4):**
1. Front hero on pure white (#FFFFFF), Amazon-compliant — product fills 85%+ of frame, no shadows/props 2. Back label on pure white — Supplement Facts panel must be sharp and legible 3. 3/4 angle on white 4. Mixed-drink shot — sachet stirred into a clear glass (cold/sparkling for some flavors, hot mug for others; we'll spec which)
- *Shared:**
5. Group shot of all 4 bags on white 6. 3–4 lifestyle scenes (post-workout, desk/work, travel/outdoor, kitchen) with real props and ingredients 7. Flat-lay with sachets out of the bag ## Deliverables — finished, not raw This is the important part. We need
final, fully retouched, ready-to-upload files
. Not RAWs, not "lightly edited." Specifically: - Glare and reflections removed from the glossy film - Creases smoothed, bags straightened, colors true to label - Pure-white heroes with clean clipping path - Minimum 3000px long side, JPEG + layered PSD/TIFF for heroes - Named by SKU (we'll provide codes) - Full commercial license: Amazon, website, paid social, retail sell sheets If we have to open Photoshop to fix your files, it's not a fit. ## Must-haves - Portfolio with
glossy/reflective packaging
(pouches, foil, bottles) on white — this is the hard part - Prior Amazon listing work that passed compliance - Strong retouching — show before/afters if you have them - Own studio lighting, sweep, macro capability for label shots - US shipping address - 7–10 business day turnaround from product-in-hand ## Nice-to-have - Beverage styling (glass, ice, steam, pour) - Short 10–15s product clips — quote separately ## How to apply Reply with: 1. 3–5 links to glossy packaging shots on white you've done 2. 1–2 lifestyle/beverage examples 3. Your per-photo rate for listing shots and for lifestyle shots 4. Your turnaround from product-in-hand 5. Confirm you're in the US and can receive shipments Start your reply with the word
"Pouch"
so we know you read this. ## Process Shortlist → quick call → ship product → shot list + reference images → proofs → you retouch our selects → final delivery. Paid per approved image on delivery. Apply To This Job
