We're adding you to our Lens Team to revolutionize how gardening products are displayed. You'll create photography that doesn't just document - it tells the story of plant care, soil health, and the Ugaoo difference.
Your images will power our e-commerce, social media, ads, and editorial content. You're not just clicking; you're translating strategy into visual language that converts.
Core Responsibilities:
-
Shoot product photography for e-commerce (plants, seeds, tools, pots, fertilizers) with technical precision and creative flair
-
Create lifestyle and aspirational imagery that shows plants in real homes, offices, and gardens
-
Develop visual treatments and styles that are distinctly "Ugaoo," establishing a recognizable visual language across platforms
-
Collaborate on founder-led campaigns and founder content shoots
-
Crack briefs quickly: understand what we're selling, who we're selling to, and deliver images that close the gap
-
Build a library of reusable assets (plants at different stages, seasonal content, category education)
-
Work with the Content/Brand team to understand category nuances (plant health, soil quality, seasonality) and translate those nuances into visual storytelling
-
You clearly understand all channels and their requirements: ATL, BTL & Digital.
Creative Problem-Solving:
-
You understand that product photography for plants isn't flat catalog work - it's about education, aesthetics, and brand credibility.
- You push back on mediocre ideas and bring new treatments to the table.
-
You notice gaps in our visual library and proactively suggest shoots to fill them.
What Will Set You Apart:
- Experience shooting gardening, plants, agriculture, or nature products
-
Knowledge of how plants look at different stages of growth/health
-
Experience with film photography or experimental photography techniques
-
Ability to art direct and brief photographers in the team
-
Understanding of DTC (direct-to-consumer) brands and social-first content
The Person We're Looking For:
-
Visual thinker: You instantly see treatments, styles, and narratives.
-
Fast executor: Can move from brief to shoot to delivery without unnecessary loops.
-
Curious about the category: Genuinely interested in plants, gardening, and the Ugaoo story.
-
Collaborative but confident: You take feedback but also bring ideas; you're not just an order-taker.
-
Humble: You learn; You're not rigid about "how it's done".
- Originiality: You don't just depend on references or direction, you direct things yourself.
AI Skills
-
Familiarity with AI-powered editing tools (Adobe Firefly, Luminar AI, or similar) for retouching and image enhancement at scale
-
Ability to use AI tools for background generation, product isolation, and scene extension to speed up post-production. Understanding of how to use AI for batch editing and asset resizing across platform formats
-
Comfortable working with AI-assisted workflows without losing brand consistency and quality control
If you have a strong creative eye, technical photography expertise, and a passion for creating visually compelling content, we'd love to hear from you.
