Senior Photo Editor

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate directly with the photographer and lead Photoshop specialist to develop the final visual treatment of selected photographs.

• Execute sophisticated refinements to light, shadow, contrast, color, dimensional depth, and atmosphere.

• Use advanced luminosity masking, channel-based selections, precision masking, curves, selective color, dodge and burn, and exposure blending when appropriate.

• Create controlled, visually compelling enhancements while preserving the original composition, photographic details, and natural textures.

• Work with extremely high-resolution photographic files, including medium-format and panoramic imagery.

• Participate in creative reviews, interpret detailed artistic direction, and execute precise revisions.

• Maintain organized, layered, non-destructive Photoshop files and high production standards.

• Support final image preparation and quality control for premium, large-format fine-art printing.

• Ensure consistency with established photographic aesthetic and artistic vision.

Required Qualifications

• Advanced to expert-level proficiency in Adobe Photoshop, with substantial professional high-end photographic retouching experience.

• An outstanding portfolio demonstrating sophisticated image enhancement, not simply general graphic design.

• Expert knowledge of photographic lighting, color theory, contrast, tonal separation, and composition.

• Proficiency with precision selections, masks, adjustment layers, color grading, and non-destructive workflows.

• Excellent artistic judgment: the ability to create dramatic visual impact with precision and restraint.

• Experience collaborating with photographers, creative directors, or senior imaging professionals.

• Exceptional attention to detail, including image quality at very large print sizes.

• Strong communication, adaptability, and responsiveness to detailed creative feedback.

Highly Desirable Experience

• Fine-art landscape, nature, wildlife, or architectural photography retouching.

• Advanced RAW processing and multi-exposure blending.

• Color-managed workflows, soft proofing, and large-format fine-art printing.

• Extremely high-resolution medium-format digital photography.

• Sophisticated lighting and atmospheric refinement achieved through photographic adjustments rather than generative image creation.

Location & Working Environment

Our creative production operation is based in Las Vegas, and local candidates are preferred for direct, hands-on collaboration. However, outstanding remote candidates will be considered based on demonstrated expertise, portfolio quality, availability for regular creative reviews, and ability to work effectively with the team. Regardless of location, this is a collaborative role, not an independent brief-and-deliver assignment.
