Freelance Product Photographer & Shoot Stylist (Toronto, one shoot a month)

About us

Pixyls is a Canadian craft brand. We make premium sticker by number crafts for people who love cozy, creative hobbies. Our customers are in Canada, the US and around the world, and our photos are a big part of how they find us on our website, Instagram, Pinterest and ads.

The role

We're looking for a Toronto-based freelance photographer who can own one shoot a month from start to finish. You won't just be pressing the shutter. You'll help plan the shoot, style the scene, source props, and send us edited images ready to use.

What you'll do

1. Plan: turn our monthly brief (new launches, seasonal themes, ad needs) into a shot list and mood board
2. Coordinate: book the location or studio, set the schedule, and organize any models or helpers if needed
3. Style and lay out: build flat lays, desk and craft-table scenes, and cozy lifestyle setups that make the products the star
4. Source props: find the extra pieces for each scene (stationery, plants, mugs, fabrics, small decor) within a monthly prop budget
5. Shoot: product-only shots on clean backgrounds, styled lifestyle scenes, close-up details, and hands-in-action process shots
6. Edit and deliver: colour-accurate retouching, cropped for web, Instagram, Pinterest and ads, delivered within an agreed turnaround

What we're looking for

• Based in Toronto or the GTA
• A portfolio that shows product, flat lay or lifestyle work (craft, stationery, home or small business brands are a big plus)
• A strong eye for styling, colour and composition, and a cozy, warm, creative feel
• Organized and reliable: you can run a shoot day without us having to manage every detail
• Your own camera, lighting and editing software
• Bonus: short vertical video clips (Reels, TikTok) during shoots, or experience shooting hands for craft and process content

The details

• Freelance / contract, one shoot a month (about 6-8 hours shooting plus planning and editing)
• Pay: Submit your application with a quote
• Pixyls owns full usage rights to the final images
• Products shipped to you or picked up before each shoot
• Ongoing, with room to grow into more shoots as we expand
