Job Description

Diamond Atelier is a Current York–headquartered lab-grown diamond company powering premium loose diamonds across the USA. As we build our luxury D2C jewelry brand in NYC, we are looking for a master Lighting Specialist in Mumbai.

n

We are looking for a Chief Lighting Technician who understands diamonds.

n

Not just someone who knows how to light a room, a model or a product — but someone who understands how light behaves on a diamond and fine jewelry, and knows how to make it look exceptional on camera.

n

You will work closely with our Photographers, Cinematographers, Directors, Stylists and Content Team, taking complete ownership of lighting for both still photography and video.

n

What you'll do

n

n
- Design and execute lighting setups specifically for diamond jewelry.
n
- Create the right balance of fire, brilliance, scintillation, contrast, reflections and definition.
n
- Ensure diamonds look crisp, dimensional and true to their quality in both photography and video.
n
- Work hands-on during shoots and continuously refine lighting based on the stone, cut, metal, design and camera.
n




- Develop repeatable lighting techniques and setups for different jewelry categories.
n
- Collaborate with photographers and cinematographers while being the lighting authority on set.
n
- Experiment, test and push beyond conventional studio lighting to discover what makes diamonds perform best on camera.
n

n

Who we're looking for

n

We care far more about what you can do with light than where you learned it.

n

You could be a trained photographer, cinematographer, gaffer, lighting designer, product photographer — or someone who simply became obsessed with understanding light and has spent years figuring it out yourself.

n

A formal photography/cinematography education is not mandatory.

n

What matters is that you genuinely understand:

n

Light. Reflection. Refraction. Surfaces. Angles. Optics. Cameras. Diamonds.

n

If you can look at a diamond on a monitor and immediately understand why it isn't firing — and know exactly what needs to change — we want to meet you.
