Product & Lifestyle Photographer

About the Role : At Chemical Guys, we don't just sell car care products-we build a visual world that sparks obsession, drives engagement, and tells stories that shine. We're looking for a Product & Lifestyle Photographer who's equal parts meticulous and imaginative-someone who can capture a bottle like it's a Bentley and stage a foam cannon shot like it belongs on a billboard. This role is hands-on. You'll shoot everything from clean, eCommerce-ready assets to high-energy lifestyle imagery that lives on packaging, digital ads, Amazon, and everywhere in between. While most work is done on-site at our Torrance HQ, occasional local travel (5-10%) may be required to nearby stores, car washes, or rented locations (like an AirBnB / Peerspace) for on-location lifestyle shoots. The role may also include occasional evening and weekend shoots (5%) based on campaign or production schedules. You'll report directly to the Manager of Digital Content Production and collaborate closely with our in-house creative team to deliver compelling visuals across multiple platforms. How to Apply : Please submit your resume along with a link to your portfolio (no PDFs, please). We're looking for range-especially product-on-white shots, styled flat-lays, and lifestyle photography featuring talent or real-world setups. Note : Applications without portfolios will not be considered. Attention to detail-like reading this entire brief-is a must for this role. What You'll Do : Photograph and edit high-quality product images for eCommerce, Amazon, retail packaging, web, and print. Stage and capture lifestyle photography that tells a compelling before-and-after story with our car care products. Shoot new products using a seamless backdrop studio setup with strobe lights. Own the entire photo process-from lighting and setup to post-production and server uploads. Participate in occasional local travel to shoot at car washes, retail partners, or on-location sets (approx. 5-10%). Support occasional evening or weekend shoots as needed (approx. 5%). Handle retouching, background cleanup, color correction, resizing, and formatting based on platform-specific guidelines. Style products, set up scenes, direct talent, and create mockups or composites when needed. Maintain and organize studio gear, keeping equipment clean, calibrated, and shoot-ready. Maintain our photography library : archive, name, and label assets with consistent, searchable file structures. Audit existing product pages and update imagery as needed to meet evolving brand standards. Stay current with image spec changes across retailers and marketplaces, adjusting deliverables accordingly. Collaborate closely with designers, videographers, marketers, and editors to support multi-channel campaigns. Location :
