About SharkNinja

At SharkNinja, our purpose is to positively impact people's lives every day in every home around the world. Through relentless curiosity, rapid iteration, and an obsession with extraordinary design, we create products that solve real consumer problems - and tell stories that inspire.

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled and creatively driven Product Photographer to join our in-house Creative team. This role brings Shark and Ninja products to life through visually stunning imagery that fuels storytelling across e-commerce, social, digital, packaging, and brand campaigns.

The ideal candidate is both a craftsman and a collaborator - passionate about lighting, composition, and visual storytelling, while comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-output studio environment. You'll partner closely with producers, stylists, retouchers, and creative directors to ensure our imagery reflects the quality, innovation, and performance SharkNinja is known for.

Key Responsibilities

Photography & Execution

• Capture world-class still imagery of SharkNinja products for use across digital, print, and social platforms.
• Execute creative briefs with precision and artistry, translating concept to image through expert lighting and composition.
• Ensure color accuracy, consistency, and brand alignment across all visual outputs.
• Collaborate with art directors and stylists to craft hero product shots, lifestyle compositions, and detail-driven close-ups.
• Maintain organized, well-labeled digital asset management and versioning within established workflows.

Creative Collaboration

• Partner with cross-functional creative teams (design, video, 3D, post-production) to maintain a cohesive visual identity.
• Participate in creative reviews and pre-production meetings to align on vision, mood, and narrative intent.
• Contribute to test shoots and creative experimentation that push the boundaries of brand imagery.

Studio Operations

• Manage studio lighting setups, camera systems, and equipment maintenance.
• Ensure efficient workflow from capture through file delivery in collaboration with producers and retouchers.
• Support continuous improvement of production processes and studio organization.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Photography, Visual Arts, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5+ years of professional studio photography experience (consumer products, lifestyle, or CPG preferred).
• Expertise in digital camera systems (Canon, Nikon, Phase One, or equivalent) and studio lighting equipment (Profoto, Broncolor, etc.).
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Capture One, and related post-production software.
• Demonstrated understanding of color theory, composition, and brand-driven visual storytelling.
• Experience collaborating in cross-functional creative environments with fast production cycles.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail; ability to juggle multiple projects with tight deadlines.

What We Value

• A relentless curiosity to learn, iterate, and improve.
• A hands-on creator mindset - unafraid to test, touch, and tinker.
• A drive to deliver extraordinary results, not just "good enough."
• The ability to work collaboratively, give and receive feedback, and thrive in a fast-paced environment.

At SharkNinja, you will:

• Play with purpose - immerse yourself in products that delight consumers globally.
• Create with speed and precision - where ideas move from concept to market fast.
• Collaborate without limits - with designers, makers, storytellers, and inventors who share your passion for visual excellence.
