Videographer & Photographer (Photo/Video Editor)

Looking for a job? Look elsewhere.

Looking for a craft — at a place where your eye, your instincts, and your standards actually matter? Read on.

We're Laudisi — the people behind , Peterson of Dublin, Cornell & Diehl, Caldwell Cigars, and a handful of other brands you've probably never heard of (but our customers are obsessed with). We're not making ads. We're making content for an audience of collectors and enthusiasts who notice everything: the grain on a pipe, the cut of a tobacco, the difference between a shot that was lit and a shot that just happened.

They can tell when you care. They can also tell when you don't.

Your role? You're how a customer sees a product — and understands why it's worth caring about — before they ever hold it.

WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO:

Shoot and edit photo and video across our brands — in studio and on location — and carry it all the way through to a finished, publish‑ready piece that goes live on You Tube, Instagram, and beyond.

That's the standard. Not footage. Finished work.

You'll also:

• Shoot product and lifestyle photography, in a controlled studio and out in the field

• Shoot video in both environments, and know the difference in how you have to work in each

• Edit in Premiere Pro, from raw footage to final cut

• Edit stills in Lightroom and Photoshop

• Cut both short‑form reels and long‑form video, and understand that they're different animals

• Build thumbnails that earn a click without lying about what's behind it

• Publish to You Tube and Instagram, and pay attention to what happens after you hit post

• Bring ideas to the table — you'll work alongside a senior digital media creator, but you're not here to execute someone else's shot list and go home

• Help shape storytelling angles that fit our voice: craft, history, and specificity over hype and clickbait

YOU'LL THRIVE HERE IF:

You're not looking for easy. You're looking for right.

You notice when a shot is slightly off, when a cut lands a beat too late, when the color's not quite there — and it bothers you enough to fix it. You don't hand off work that's "fine." You don't need someone standing over your shoulder, because anything less than your best pisses you off more than it would ever bother them.

You can move fast without cutting corners. We publish constantly, deadlines are real, and sometimes you'll get an assignment with very little notice. That's the job. But volume is never an excuse for work you're not proud of.

You take notes well. When an edit comes back marked up, you don't take it personally — you take it as part of making the thing better.

You're curious. Pipes, cigars, coffee, watches, spirits, whatever — if you've ever gone deep on a hobby where the minutiae actually matter, you already understand our audience. You get why someone would care this much about the details, and you respect it.

This is a landing pad, not a parking lot. People who excel here don't stay stuck; they take on bigger creative challenges, own larger projects, and grow into more senior roles on the creative team as they demonstrate judgment and initiative.

YOU CAN EXPECT:

• Compensation and benefits: $20.00/hour; health, dental, and vision insurance; six paid holidays; generous PTO; 401(k) with 1:1 match up to 4% and no vesting period.

• Perks: casual dress (jeans and t-shirts), tuition reimbursement, referral bonuses, year‑end bonuses, fresh fruit daily, paid luncheons, and regular company events.

• Growth: real opportunities to take on more responsibility as you master the work, improve processes, and show you can own outcomes — not just tasks.

• Culture: a passionate group of "Laudisians" who like the products, like the customers,…
