We are an established Australian wig company seeking a professional and experienced product photographer based in China to reshoot our complete synthetic wig collection. We are looking for someone with strong experience in hair, beauty, fashion, cosmetics, or premium e-commerce product photography. The successful photographer must also be able to work with an experienced hair stylist or wig stylist to ensure every product is professionally prepared and styled before it is photographed. Project Objective We want to create a consistent, high-quality image library for our entire synthetic wig range. Our products will be shipped directly from our supplier in China to the selected photographer or studio. You will work closely with our team to develop a photography setting, lighting style, background, and overall visual direction that complements our existing website and branding. Every wig must be styled to perfection before being photographed. This includes brushing, smoothing, shaping, adjusting the parting, arranging the fringe or layers, and ensuring the wig looks natural, symmetrical, polished, and ready for e-commerce.

We will work with the successful applicant to finalise the visual direction before the full shoot begins.
