Product Photographer Job Description

A product photographer is a photographer specializing in photographing products for marketing and advertising purposes.

Product photographers typically work at a non-photographic studio or at home.

The photographer is often assigned a product or group of products to photograph.

The photographer may follow the product instructions, or may come up with their own posing or lighting ideas.

After the photographer has completed the photo shoot, they assemble a selection of photos from the shoot and edit them as needed.

Product photography requires the photographer to be able to judge which images best represent the product.

The magic of the lens is often not enough to convince a customer to buy a product.

The photographer must be able to sell the product.
