Requirements

• Photography: Capture high-quality images of firearms and related products, ensuring they are visually appealing and true to life.
  With over 40 years of experience in photography, my journey began when my father gifted me my first camera, sparking a lifelong passion. Seventeen years ago, I established a dedicated photography studio in my home, where I honed my craft and developed extensive expertise in studio setup, set design, and lighting techniques. My in-depth understanding of the art and technical aspects of photography enables me to create compelling and visually striking images that capture the essence of any subject.
• Editing: Edit and retouch photos using software such as Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom to enhance image quality and ensure consistency.
  With over four decades of photography experience, I began my journey in the analog era, mastering 35mm film techniques before transitioning to digital photography in the late 1990s. My digital journey started with a Canon EOS Rebel and a robust setup that included an HP computer and Microsoft’s FrontPage with Image Composer. By the early 2000s, I advanced to Adobe Photoshop, utilizing its extensive features and Adobe Bridge to manage Canon .CR2 files. Since Adobe’s launch of Lightroom in 2007, I have used it exclusively, developing a strong understanding of each module and their functions to produce high-quality, professional images.
• Styling: Arrange and style products in creative and attractive ways to highlight key features, with a focus on safety and accuracy.
  In my photography studio, I incorporate a range of design elements to create versatile and visually compelling images. These include various colored seamless paper rolls, plexiglass for reflection effects, and a selection of patina lumber to add texture and character. I prioritize distraction-free, lightweight setups, often using a lit soft box as a tabletop to achieve a clean, fresh white background. My extensive experience in studio design and setup allows me to craft environments that enhance the subject and bring creative visions to life.
• Lighting: Set up and manage lighting equipment to achieve optimal results in a variety of environments.
  I possess a strong understanding of professional lighting equipment, including booms, C-stands, soft boxes, grids, and gels. My current setup includes a three-light Alien Bee 800 studio system and a four-light Godox off-camera flash system, which I use for both residential and commercial real estate photography. My in-depth knowledge of lighting techniques and equipment allows me to create precisely lit scenes, enhancing the visual appeal and impact of every shot.
• Collaboration: Work closely with the marketing, design, and e-commerce teams to understand image needs and deliver content that aligns with brand guidelines.
  Team-spirited collaboration is my driving force in pursuing the open photographer position with Cash For Arms. I am eager to join a team where celebrating successes and navigating challenges together, guided by shared core values, is integral to the work environment. With a solid track record of exceeding realtors’ expectations, I have a deep understanding of the diverse needs of each department, providing content that is properly sized for its intended use. Whether it’s print at 300 DPI or web and email content optimized at 72 DPI for faster loading times, I ensure that every deliverable meets the highest standards of quality and functionality.
• Inventory Management: Maintain an organized catalog of all product images and ensure they are easily accessible for use across different departments.
  Meticulous organization is at the core of my workflow, ensuring that every folder and file is systematically managed. Whether for print, shared hard drives, or cloud storage, each file is key worded, dated, and filed in a system that is agreed upon by the team, allowing for seamless navigation and efficient collaboration. My commitment to maintaining an organized and accessible digital environment supports the team’s productivity and ensures that all assets are easily retrievable.
• Equipment Maintenance: Ensure all photography equipment is well-maintained and in good working condition.
  I have extensive knowledge of camera equipment, including its cost and maintenance requirements. My dedication to the care and upkeep of my gear is unmatched, ensuring that every piece of equipment is always in optimal condition. This attention to detail not only preserves the longevity of the tools I use but also guarantees consistently high-quality results in every shoot.
