SECO | Redding, CA

$17.40 per hour | Approximately 15 hours per week | Flexible Schedule

About SECO

SECO is a leading manufacturer of professional surveying, construction, and geospatial accessories and equipment. Our products are used by professionals throughout the United States and around the world.

From tripods, poles, prisms, and field equipment to specialized surveying and construction accessories, SECO products are designed to help professionals work more accurately and efficiently.

We're looking for a talented Commercial Product Photographer to help us showcase our products through professional, high-quality photography.

About the Role

This is a part-time, flexible-hour position based in our Redding, California facility. You'll photograph a wide variety of SECO products and take each image from studio setup through final, publication-ready artwork.

Your work will be used across SECO's website, e-commerce listings, Amazon, catalogs, marketing materials, and other digital and print channels.

This is an excellent opportunity for a photographer who enjoys working with products and wants to create real commercial photography for an established brand.

What You'll Do

• Photograph SECO surveying, construction, and geospatial products in our studio.
• Set up products, cameras, backgrounds, and studio lighting for each assignment.
• Determine appropriate composition, angles, lighting, and product positioning.
• Capture multiple product views, details, and features when needed.
• Select the strongest images from each photography session.
• Edit and retouch images using Photoshop, Lightroom, or similar software.
• Perform color correction, exposure adjustments, cropping, background cleanup, dust and blemish removal, and other necessary retouching.
• Prepare finished images for websites, Amazon, e-commerce, catalogs, and other marketing applications.
• Maintain consistent lighting, scale, backgrounds, and visual style across the SECO product line.
• Organize and maintain digital image files according to company standards.
• Work with the marketing team to understand product presentation requirements and incorporate feedback.
• Help maintain an organized, clean, and efficient studio and photography workflow.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone with strong photography skills, a good eye for detail, and an interest in commercial product photography.

You should have:

• Experience with DSLR or mirrorless cameras and manual camera settings.
• A good understanding of lighting, exposure, composition, depth of field, and color.
• Experience with studio photography and lighting, or the ability to quickly learn studio techniques.
• Experience with Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, or comparable photo editing software.
• The ability to perform detailed photo cleanup and retouching.
• Strong attention to detail and pride in producing polished, professional images.
• Good organizational skills and the ability to manage digital image files.
• The ability to work independently and complete assignments on schedule.
• Good communication skills and the ability to respond positively to creative feedback.

Commercial photography experience is preferred, but we're also interested in photographers who can demonstrate strong skills through a portfolio.

What SECO Provides

You don't need to own a professional studio or extensive photography equipment. SECO provides:

• Professional studio lighting and accessories
• Computer/workstation
• Studio space and backgrounds
• Products to photograph
• Necessary photography and post-production resources

Schedule & Pay

• $17.40 per hour
• Approximately 15 hours per week
• Part-time
• On-site in Redding, California

We understand that flexibility is important. The schedule can be coordinated around availability while ensuring photography assignments and project deadlines are completed.

Why Join SECO?

Your work will have a direct impact on how customers see and understand SECO products. The finished images you create will be used in real-world commercial applications—not simply for internal practice.

You'll have the opportunity to build experience in:

• Commercial product photography
• Studio lighting
• Industrial and technical product photography
• E-commerce photography
• Product retouching
• Amazon image preparation
• Digital asset management
• Brand consistency and visual presentation

How to Apply

Please submit:

• Your resume or a brief summary of your photography experience.
• 3–5 examples of your best photography work.
• Examples of product, studio, commercial, or e-commerce photography are preferred.
• At least one example showing your photo editing or retouching skills, if available.

We're interested in seeing your photography skills, creativity, attention to detail, and understanding of lighting and composition. A traditional photography degree is not required.

If you enjoy creating polished images and want the opportunity to photograph real products for a recognized brand, we'd like to see your work.
