Employment Type: Full-time

About Catalogus.ai

Catalogus.ai is an AI-powered product content and visual commerce platform that helps fashion, footwear, accessories, lifestyle, and e-commerce brands create high-quality product listings and marketplace-ready images at scale.

Through Catalogus AI Studio, brands can generate professional e-commerce photoshoots, lifestyle images, campaign visuals, model images, product backgrounds, and marketplace-ready creative assets using artificial intelligence.

We are looking for a highly creative and detail-oriented Creative AI Photoshoot Specialist who can use Catalogus AI Studio to produce visually compelling, commercially effective, and product-accurate images for our clients.

Role Overview

The Creative AI Photoshoot Specialist will be responsible for planning and executing AI-generated photoshoots for fashion and e-commerce brands.

The role requires a strong visual sense, an understanding of fashion photography and e-commerce imagery, and the ability to translate a brand’s identity, product details, season, collection, and campaign requirements into cohesive AI-generated visuals.

You will work on multiple client brands and create studio images, lifestyle images, campaign creatives, model-based photoshoots, product-focused images, and marketplace-ready assets using the Catalogus AI Studio platform.

This is not purely a graphic design or prompt-writing role. The person should be able to think like a fashion stylist, photoshoot planner, art director, and image-quality reviewer.

Key Responsibilities

1. AI Photoshoot Planning

• Understand the client’s brand identity, target customer, product category, collection, season, and visual guidelines.
• Develop relevant photoshoot concepts for fashion, footwear, accessories, beauty, home, and lifestyle products.
• Decide the appropriate visual direction for studio, lifestyle, editorial, campaign, social media, and marketplace images.
• Create cohesive photoshoot plans covering backdrop, lighting, model appearance, styling, props, composition, camera perspective, and poses.
• Ensure that all images within a product or collection follow a consistent visual language.

2. AI Image Generation

• Generate high-quality product and model images using Catalogus AI Studio.
• Create studio e-commerce shots, lifestyle images, campaign images, catalogue images, social media creatives, and marketplace-ready product images.
• Experiment with prompts, reference images, art direction, camera settings, lighting, styling, and compositions to achieve the desired output.
• Generate multiple poses and shot variations while maintaining consistency in the model, garment, background, styling, and overall art direction.
• Select the most suitable AI workflow based on the product category and desired output.

3. Creative Direction

• Recommend suitable backdrops, locations, sets, props, model profiles, poses, accessories, and complementary styling for each product.
• Develop mood boards and visual references for client photoshoots.
• Translate broad client requirements into clear and executable visual concepts.
• Ensure that generated images reflect the brand’s positioning, whether premium, contemporary, youthful, ethnic, minimal, mass-market, luxury, or performance-oriented.
• Stay updated on fashion photography, e-commerce imagery, visual merchandising, social media, and campaign trends.

4. Product Accuracy and Quality Control

• Ensure that the generated product accurately matches the original reference images.
• Review garment silhouette, colour, print, embroidery, fabric texture, neckline, sleeves, buttons, seams, trims, footwear construction, accessories, logos, and other product details.
• Identify and correct AI-generated inconsistencies such as incorrect product structure, distorted anatomy, extra accessories, inaccurate colours, incorrect logos, or unrealistic fabric behaviour.
• Compare the final images with raw product images from different angles before submission.
• Maintain consistency across all images generated for the same product and collection.
• Ensure outputs meet marketplace, website, campaign, and client-specific image requirements.

5. Client and Internal Collaboration

• Work closely with client servicing, operations, product, design, and AI teams.
• Understand client feedback and convert it into specific visual corrections.
• Present photoshoot concepts and explain the creative rationale behind them.
• Maintain organised records of prompts, visual directions, approved models, backdrops, poses, and outputs.
• Help create reusable photoshoot templates, prompt libraries, pose repositories, model repositories, and category-specific visual guidelines inside Catalogus.

Required Skills

• Strong creative and visual storytelling ability.
• Good understanding of fashion, styling, photography, advertising, or e-commerce imagery.
• Ability to differentiate between marketplace, catalogue, editorial, campaign, website, and social media photography.
• Understanding of lighting, composition, framing, camera angles, poses, focal length, depth of field, and background selection.
• Strong attention to product accuracy and small visual details.
• Experience using AI image-generation tools such as Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, Stable Diffusion, Flux, Gemini, Photoshop Generative Fill, or similar platforms.
• Ability to write, test, and refine image-generation prompts.
• Basic knowledge of Adobe Photoshop or another professional image-editing tool.
• Ability to manage multiple brands, categories, products, and deadlines simultaneously.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to interpret subjective creative feedback.
