About Bucks County Estate Traders

We are one of the country’s premier providers of high-quality vintage and antique furniture, processing a massive volume of unique items through our 58,000-square-foot showroom. We operate seven days a week to serve our customers. We are a family-owned business that values hard work, consistency, and a "roll-up-your-sleeves" attitude.

Work Schedule & Availability (Must Read)

Because our showroom is open seven days a week, this position requires specific availability to ensure our production goals are met daily.

• Operating Hours: Monday – Saturday (8:30 AM – 6:00 PM) and Sunday (10:00 AM – 4:00 PM).

• Rotating Saturdays: You will be required to work a rotating Saturday schedule.

• On-Call Rotation: To ensure our daily photo quotas are met even when life happens, you must be available for a rotational on-call schedule to support the team in the event of unexpected call-outs.

Position Overview

We are seeking a reliable and efficient Ecommerce Photographer to join our production team. Please note: This is not an artistic photography role. While a good eye is appreciated, this position is focused on volume, consistency, and operational speed.

Your primary goal is to accurately document a high volume of inventory items per day to get them online and ready for sale. You will work within a strict set of operational procedures to ensuring that every item—whether a dining chair or a large armoire—is photographed clearly, honestly, and quickly.

Key Responsibilities

• High-Volume Output: Photograph a set target of items per day (furniture, lighting, decor) using standard angles and lighting setups. Speed and efficiency are the top priority.

• Operational Compliance: Strictly follow our Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for file naming, image framing, and uploading. Consistency is key to our workflow.

• Equipment Handling: Operate a DSLR camera and basic lighting equipment. You must be able to troubleshoot basic camera settings (ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed) to ensure clear, well-lit images.

• Product Handling & Teamwork: Assist the warehouse team in staging items. This involves physically moving, lifting, and positioning furniture to get the right shot.

• Quality Control: Review images immediately after capture to ensure they meet clarity standards before moving to the next item, reducing the need for reshoots.

• Attendance & Reliability: This is a production-based role where the team relies on your daily output. Punctuality and consistent attendance are essential requirements.

Who You Are

• Process-Driven: You enjoy finding a rhythm and sticking to a workflow. You don't need to "reinvent the wheel" with every shot; you prefer clear guidelines.

• Team Player: You are willing to step in and help move a sofa, adjust a backdrop, or assist a colleague. You communicate clearly and respectfully with warehouse staff and management.

• Physically Active: You are comfortable being on your feet all day and lifting/maneuvering furniture items (50+ lbs) with assistance.

• Reliable: You take pride in showing up on time and hitting your daily goals.

Requirements

• Working knowledge of DSLR cameras: You know how to turn it on, adjust basic settings, and review photos. Advanced lighting or editing skills are not required.

• No retouching required: This role focuses on capture. Post-processing is minimal or handled separately.

• Ability to follow instructions: You can adhere to a specific style guide without deviation.

• Strong work ethic: You are self-motivated to meet daily quotas without constant supervision.

Why Join Us?

• Stable Work Environment: We are a busy, growing company with a constant stream of inventory.

• Unique Inventory: You will see and handle some of the most interesting and beautiful furniture pieces in the region.

• Straightforward Expectations: We set clear goals. If you hit your numbers and follow the process, you will be successful here.
