Product Photographer & Retoucher

Join Picnic as a Product Photographer & Retoucher

In a nutshell

Ever since Picnic started, the importance of consistent high-quality product photography was clear to us. That's why we don't settle for supplier images or standard packshots. We shoot beautiful images in our in-house photo studios. Our product images should not only be recognisable, they should also look delicious and inspire our customers.

As we look to the future, AI will play an increasingly vital role in optimizing our visual content, making our operations more scalable and future-proof, and freeing up our creatives to do what they love most: be creative.

In this exciting combined role, you’ll blend your skills in both photography and retouching, taking full ownership of the visual workflow. Working together with experienced photographers, retouchers and category managers, you make sure that our customers will only see best-in-class product photos. Are you an experienced product photographer with excellent Photoshop skills and are you excited to contribute to our evolving visual strategy? Then we’re looking for you!
