About The Position

Gibson is seeking a Product Photographer to join its Nashville G-Ops team. The role creates high-end studio imagery of guitars, accessories, apparel, and merchandise for e-commerce and marketing channels. The work includes detailed catalog photography and product-led lifestyle scenes using sets, props, composition, and styling. Imagery is merchandise-centered rather than focused on artist shoots, and should support a best-in-class customer experience. The photographer works in a structured, high-volume studio, producing consistent, accurate, and compelling images while meeting production workflows and deadlines. Regular on-site attendance at the Nashville Studio is required. The position is mostly office-based; remote work is infrequently available, and irregular travel may be involved.
