at  TagsforHope

ABOUT TAGSFORHOPE:

TagsforHope is a mission-driven pet fashion brand and manufacturing company based in London, Ontario. We’re quickly growing into a leading brand in the pet industry, known for high-quality, fashionable pet products. Our mission is to make the world a better place for animals and bring manufacturing back to Canada. We focus on career development and promotion - people are at the core of everything we do. If you’re looking for a career and not just a job, you’re in the right place!

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

We are seeking a dedicated and skilled Product Photographer to join our creative team, specializing in pet accessory photography.
The bulk of the job requires you to organize product-focused photoshoots with pets (mostly dogs), and human models, and then edit and curate the content afterwards. The focus will always be on the pet products we create, but the goal is to create lifestyle themes that match our brand identity. Check out our Instagram to get an idea of the direction we’ve been going for. You will have a major say in the direction we move forward.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Proven experience as a professional product photographer; portfolio required.
• Experience in handling photo shoots with animal models, particularly dogs, in a way that emphasizes the product. Check out our Instagram to see examples of what we’re expecting.
• Proficient in photo editing software such as Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.
• Excellent organizational and communication skills to manage shoot schedules and model rosters effectively. This job requires you to be good with people so that you can positively and effectively direct them (and their pets) to get the necessary content.
• Ability to adapt quickly to dynamic shooting environments and model behaviors.
• Videography and video editing skills are a plus.
• Experience with a Canon camera is preferred.
• Flexible work schedule. Generally, we’re aiming for a stable 9-5 schedule, but lots of photoshoots can only happen on weekends based on model availability and weather.

• Organize and conduct professional product-focused photo shoots, emphasizing pet accessories.
• Coordinate the logistics of shoots, including scheduling, location scouting, and model (canine and human) management.
• Photograph products on dog models, capturing the functionality and style of each item.
• Edit photos to meet brand standards and creative expectations using professional photo editing software.
• Develop and maintain a roster of canine and human models suitable for various types of pet accessories and photoshoots.
• Collaborate with our marketing team to understand product highlights and to ensure the visual content aligns with our brand’s strategy.
• Manage digital assets, ensuring all imagery is organized and easily accessible for marketing and product teams.
