Retoucher (Full-time OR Project Based)

Grip is experiencing exciting growth and expansion. To help us on the challenging journey to create the most beautiful and best-performing experiences for both clients and customers, we are looking for a Retoucher to join Grip!

As a Retoucher, you'll demonstrate exceptional attention to detail and creative problem-solving abilities. Your expertise in seamlessly removing products from their original backgrounds and accurately reconstructing the surroundings will be essential. You'll also excel at flawlessly integrating 3D renders into existing images, ensuring a perfect blend that matches the original image's color palette, lighting, and shadows.

What’s Grip?

With the help of Grip companies such as L'Oréal, Coca-Cola and Beiersdorf are automating content production for their entire business. Grip moves classic media creation efforts into the cloud, effectively virtualizing production. The software solution Grip takes care of generating high-quality visuals, at scale, on-demand and based on data. Brand styles, as well as product look and feel are codified, which ensures an entirely consistent, always on-brand output, no matter who (or what) requests it.

What will you be doing?

• Take images of new products and seamlessly integrate them into existing photographed scenes - meaning you will retouch products (bottles, cans) to make them look real alongside the models or objects in the photograph
• Retouch the photograph to allow space for the new product to fit in. This can include removing the old product as well as retouching the model's fingers/arms/hands to make the new product fit
• Add reflections and shadows from nearby objects in the scene onto the new products
• Colour grading, matching sharpness/blurriness, matching noise levels, and adjusting the size of the products
• Follow our standardised method of working on the Photoshop files/layers so team members can easily work on the file too
