• Provide light video support (~5%) including short-form clips, BTS content, and social reels.

Post-Production & Editing

• Edit and retouch images to achieve exceptional color accuracy, sharpness, and consistency.
• Deliver fast turnarounds while maintaining premium, pixel-perfect quality.
• Manage a high output volume of SKUs and campaign assets, consistently meeting product launch and marketing deadlines.
• Optimize and export assets for web, social, email, and print with proper resolution and formatting.

• Ensure quality control, brand consistency, color accuracy, file standards, and on-time delivery from all external retouching partners.
• Provide clear retouching guidelines, feedback, and asset standards to maintain Ghost Golf’s premium visual identity.

Shoot Planning & Creative Execution

• Own the entire photoshoot workflow: pre-production (mood boards, shot lists, location scouting) through final asset delivery.
• Direct and pose models, athletes, and brand ambassadors to create dynamic, engaging lifestyle imagery.
• Collaborate closely with the Creative Lead, Marketing, and Design teams to bring campaign visions to life.
• Ensure lighting, composition, and framing consistently meet a high-end commercial standard.
