- Strong portfolio demonstrating both product precision and brand storytelling
- Expertise in lighting small, reflective objects (metal, gemstones, diamonds)
- Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Lightroom, Photoshop)
- Strong attention to detail, especially color accuracy and consistency
- Ability to work efficiently within a high-volume, weekly release cadence
- Highly organized with strong file management practices
