Freelance Product Reference Photographer

About The Role

AIUTA is looking for a freelance photographer to produce standardized flat-lay product images for AI-powered image generation workflows. This is a project-based opportunity that may be especially suitable for an early-career photographer, recent photography graduate, or someone looking to build hands-on e-commerce photography experience.

Key Responsibilities

• Photograph each SKU per the required capture method(s), inputs include: Flat Lay — front, back, plus detail image(s); Mannequin — front, back, side, plus detail image(s); On Figure — front, back, side, plus detail image(s)
• Capture supporting detail images documenting characteristics key to the design and construction
• Represent products faithfully including color, proportions, materials, branding, and construction
• Prepare every garment by steaming or pressing it so it is presentation-ready before shooting
• Style products naturally and symmetrically, avoiding unnecessary folds, wrinkles, distortion, or obstruction, and ensure the entire product and its silhouette are clearly visible in every primary reference image
• Organize and name delivered files by SKU / product ID following an agreed naming convention with zero risk of images from different products being mixed together
• Deliver and organize high-resolution image files in the format agreed with AIUTA
• Accommodate re-shoot requests promptly when required images are missing, a garment is incorrectly labelled, preparation is inadequate, or images don’t accurately document the product
• Receive and securely store products shipped by the client and follow the agreed process for their return or onward shipment

What We're Looking For

• Basic photography skills and confidence using your own camera equipment
• Ability to work at high volume and on tight, recurring turnaround cycles
• A professional studio setup (owned or accessible) capable of consistent, repeatable lighting across flat lay, mannequin, and on-figure/model photography
• A documentation-first mindset: strong attention to detail and a preference for accuracy over creative interpretation
• Established file management practices, and comfort working within a defined SKU-based naming convention
• A reliable internal QC process to catch errors before delivery
• Capacity to scale output to meet AIUTA’s production volume with a predictable, dependable turnaround time

To Apply

Please Submit a Proposal That Includes:

• A short introduction and your current location
• Your portfolio or examples of your photography work. Product or fashion photography examples are helpful but not required
• A brief description of the camera, lighting equipment, and shooting space available to you
• Your general availability for project-based assignments
