Product Photographer & Photo Editor at Blindster

About Us:

Blindster.com is a pure e-commerce, B2C retail business located in Houston, Texas. Fifteen years ago, our owner bootstrapped the company with one employee and zero sales, and today Blindster is one of the largest retailers of custom window blinds in the US with over 30 employees! But we're not satisfied, and we won't stop until we are THE largest company in our industry. To do this, we are currently looking for a rock star to join our group, the "Blindster Bunch." If you meet the job qualifications and are interested in joining our band, we should talk!

Position Summary:

This role is ideal for someone who loves photo editing and takes pride in polishing every pixel. You’ll spend the majority of your time editing, retouching, and optimizing large volumes of product photos — ensuring our website and marketing visuals look flawless, consistent, and on brand.

You’ll also capture new photography as needed (mostly product and occasional lifestyle), but your main contribution will be transforming raw images into beautiful, ready-to-publish assets. Light video capture and editing may occasionally be required for promotions or instructional content. This is a full-time, in-house position reporting to the Chief Operating Officer.

Photo Editing & Retouching (Core Focus - 70-80%)

• Ensure all images meet Blindster's quality standards for lighting, color accuracy, and consistency.
• Remove dust, wrinkles, reflections, and background imperfections.
• Resize, crop, and format images for web, email, and marketing use.
• Maintain a consistent editing workflow and organize deliverables in well-structured folders.
• Continually refine and document editing processes to improve efficiency and consistency across shoots.

Product Photography (20-25%)

• Capture high-quality studio photos of products and samples for new launches.
• Set up and manage lighting, camera, and backdrops for clean, repeatable results.
• Plan and execute occasional lifestyle or styled shoots to showcase products in real settings.

Video (Occasional - 5%)

• Capture and lightly edit short clips or B-roll for product videos and campaigns.
• Perform color correction, cropping, and simple text overlays as needed.

Asset Management

• Maintain organized folders for all photo and video assets.
• Replace outdated images and ensure new products launch with complete visual coverage.
• Follow consistent file naming conventions and maintain backups.
