From the Desk of the Recruiter

Kelly Services is hiring Product Photography Associates for a contract-to-hire creative production role in the Peoria / Peoria Heights area.

This is not a regular warehouse job, and it is not just taking pictures on a phone. This role supports real product content used by retailers, brands, food service companies, and online shopping platforms. The images you help capture may be used for digital shelves, e-commerce listings, product pages, retail systems, packaging views, labels, ingredients, nutrition facts, and product details.

This is a strong fit for someone who has actually held and used a camera before. You do not need to be a master photographer, but you do need to understand the basics of DSLR or SLR camera use well enough to be trained. You should be able to explain a few camera basics such as aperture, ISO, focus, exposure, lighting, and why an image may need to be adjusted or retaken.

Bradley University students, local Peoria-area college students, photography students, media students, marketing students, journalism students, design students, and serious hobby photographers are strongly encouraged to apply.

This role stands out because it gives you real experience in product imaging, digital content, marketing support, publishing-style workflows, and studio-style production. It is creative, but it is also structured. The right person has a good eye, follows direction, shows up consistently, and cares about getting the image right.

This is a contract-to-hire role with strong hire-on potential. Many people who learn the process, maintain strong attendance, and perform well are considered for hire-on. Some employees stay long term for several years when the fit is right.
