ABOUT THE COMPANY
At CustomMade, we believe engagement rings should be as personal as the relationships they represent. We make it easy to create a ring that's both one-of-a-kind and affordable. Turns out people really like that and word is spreading quickly! We've created 50,000 pieces of custom jewelry and helped 25,000 couples get engaged, but we're still just getting started reshaping the jewelry industry.
ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
At CustomMade, photography shows up at every stage of the customer journey. It's often how people find us in the first place: our photos and videos fill our ads and social feeds and make the case for going custom. Once a customer starts designing, our photo library becomes their inspiration. Our Project Managers share images from it to show what's possible and help customers settle on a design that feels like theirs. And when the ring is finished, our photos are the first time customers get to see it. They've put in the trust, the time, and the money, and we want that reveal to feel as special as the ring itself.
As a Photographer on our in-house team, you'll shoot every piece with the same care, whether it's ring #2 or ring #200. Most of your time will go to product photography and video, getting beautiful, consistent images to customers quickly. We also make room for creative work, like group shots, styled single rings, and photos that tell a story.

Product photography
Photograph finished rings and other jewelry in our studio using consistent staging, brand-color backgrounds, a light box, and props
