What is a still life?

Still life artists are professionals who create artworks that depict inanimate objects, such as flowers, food, tableware, or everyday household items. These artists use various mediums, such as painting, drawing, or photography, to explore composition, lighting, texture, and symbolism within their arrangements. Still life art has a long tradition in art history, often serving as both a technical exercise and a means to convey deeper meanings or themes. Modern still life artists may work independently, for galleries, or on commission, applying traditional or contemporary styles.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a still life photographer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Still Life Photographer, you need a solid understanding of photography fundamentals, composition, lighting, and often a degree or coursework in photography or visual arts. Mastery of digital cameras, studio lighting setups, and photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom is typically required. Creativity, attention to detail, and patience are crucial soft skills for arranging objects and achieving visually compelling results. These skills and qualities are essential for producing high-quality, marketable images that meet clients' artistic and commercial expectations.

What challenges might a still life photographer encounter when working on commercial projects?

Still life photographers working on commercial projects often face the challenge of creating visually compelling images that align with a client's brand and message. This involves precise lighting, meticulous arrangement of objects, and sometimes tight deadlines. Collaboration with art directors, stylists, and clients is common, requiring strong communication skills and flexibility. Additionally, staying updated with industry trends and mastering post-production techniques are essential for delivering high-quality results that stand out in a competitive market.

Job description

Founded in 2020, UJUU is an eCommerce platform and brand development studio. We endeavor to connect a global audience of underserved and underrepresented consumers to a diverse community and collection of carefully curated and vetted emerging designers and brands. We achieve this by offering elegant brand development services and eCommerce solutions across our family of brands.

Our vision is to create a best-in-class and forward-thinking shopping experience for our global community of black and brown across the African diaspora. We're just getting started, but we're already off to a promising start with the launch of our three initial brands: souk + SEPIA, simisienna and Mango Maison. With each subsequent brand offering we strive to better serve and meet the unfulfilled needs of our expansive audience.

UJUU is seeking a creative and motivated Stylist to join our Creative team. This role will have the unique opportunity to work closely with our Marketing teams and define the next phase of social for UJUU Brands, in strengthening the voice and personality of the brand across marketing platforms.

The role reports to the Creative Lead, and supports overall key business priorities, site launches, industry moments, and partnerships initiatives. This position requires a strong creative intuition, refined design eye, and proactive approach when it comes to styling apparel.

What You'll Do
    • The Stylist will be responsible for preparing and managing merchandise and sets for on-figure, virtual-model and still life product photography shoots for our e-commerce site. This person will be collaborating with our Photographers to ensure the brand aesthetic is being successfully translated. This person must be able to work under extreme fast paced conditions and be flexible to adapt to change within the photography process.

Please submit a portfolio to be considered for this position.
