Photo Editor

Job Title:
Photo Editor (Culling + Light Touchups – Lightroom/Photoshop)

Job Description:
We’re looking for a reliable photo editor with a sharp eye and steady hands—not someone chasing filters or trends.

Oak City Social Club is a Raleigh-based creative house focused on portrait and event photography. We’re seeking a skilled editor to help cull images and perform occasional light retouching. This is project-based work, not full-time, but we’re looking for someone we can depend on when new galleries roll in.

If you understand what makes an image technically strong, can confidently sort through hundreds of photos without zoning out, and know your way around Lightroom—we’d love to hear from you.

Responsibilities:
Review and cull RAW images (portraits + event work) using Lightroom catalogs with smart previews

Flag and star-rate the most viable images (composition, expression, sharpness, etc.)

Perform occasional basic retouching in Lightroom or Photoshop (removing distractions, wrinkles, flyaway hair) after orders are placed.

Return updated catalogs via Dropbox within 2–3 days

Requirements:
Proficiency in Lightroom (Classic) and basic Photoshop skills

Strong judgment for technical quality and salability of an image

Good communication and commitment to deadlines

Reliable internet connection for Dropbox file transfers

Attention to detail—no rushing, no guessing

Project Details:
Work is as-needed, depending on project flow

Turnaround time typically 2–3 days

Paid per project (to be discussed)

Test Project:
All shortlisted applicants will be sent a short paid test catalog to evaluate your selection process and eye for detail. This helps us find someone with strong taste, not just software access.

To Apply:
Please send:

A short intro about your experience with Lightroom/Photoshop

Any relevant work samples or project details (if available)

Your typical rate per catalog or per image

Confirm that you're comfortable working with Lightroom catalogs and Dropbox
