Currently hiring!

We’re looking to add a few more creatives to our team here at Junshien Photography! Positions open include: photo editor, assistant photographer, Associate Photographer, and general assistant. All positions are on a freelance basis. More info down below!

Note that due to my high volume of emails, I cannot promise a response to every candidate.

PHOTO EDITOR

Job Description
As Photo Editor, you will review the source files from a photoshoot or wedding, decide which images need to be discarded, and select the best of the best. A typical wedding will result in over 2500 images, which will then have to be narrowed down to under 175. In culling the final images, you will have to take into consideration technical quality of the original image, artistic value, and variety.

The final selection of images will then be edited according to my post-processing style, with the initial edit performed in Lightroom followed by final touch-up and enhancements in Photoshop. The average viewer should not be able to notice a difference in style when viewing images you have edited for my studio. You will be trained in my editing technique and will be given the tools necessary to complete your job.

All this will require you to become familiar with my particular style of photography–what types of imagery I tend to prefer, why I would select one image over another, what kind of edits I would generally use for different types of images, the post-processing techniques I use to make my imagery distinctive, etc.

Depending on the studio workload, you may sometimes be assigned to assist my current editor. We are a mobile studio with no physical location. Because of that, you are free to work anywhere and anytime you want, as long as you complete your projects on time. 1-2 positions open.

Qualifications
* responsive; responsible; self-motivated. It is your responsibility to meet deadlines and produce quality work without supervision.
* highly attentive to detail
* a strong desire for excellence
* adaptable
* highly able to identify elements that make up a strong image
* able to recognize what digital editing with Adobe Photoshop can do to enhance an image
* moderate to high proficiency with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop CS3 or later.
* a deep passion for photography and the arts
* some experience shooting weddings and portrait sessions
* loves my photography
