About the Job
We are working on a large-scale image data collection project focused on apparel fit research and visual quality evaluation for machine learning.
The project involves building a global network of contributors who can create structured photo sets by following clear visual, technical, and formatting guidelines.
This is not a fashion or artistic shoot. Accuracy, consistency, and guideline compliance are the priority.

Photographers are responsible for sourcing participants, capturing images according to predefined requirements, and submitting complete, compliant sets.
