JOB OVERVIEW

Remote | Long-Term | Part-Time or Full-Time

***IMPORTANT: Applicants MUST include relevant photo-editing samples (preferably before-and-after examples) and professional work history. Applications without both will not be considered.***


We are seeking an experienced Adobe Lightroom Classic editor to process a large historical sports photography archive, primarily 35mm color slides covering professional and collegiate American sports.

Our priority is accurate color correction and faithful reproduction of original film photographs—not creative retouching.

Responsibilities

* Correct white balance, exposure, contrast, and color casts.

* Maintain natural skin tones and accurate team uniform colors.

* Preserve the original appearance of historical film.

* Perform minimal slide-border cropping.

* Maintain consistent quality across large batches.

* Preserve filenames and follow established workflows.

* Target approximately 500–800 images daily, depending on complexity.


Qualifications

Professional Adobe Lightroom Classic experience REQUIRED.

Excellent color correction skills and attention to detail.

Experience processing large volumes of photographs.

Newspaper, wire-service, editorial, or sports photography experience strongly preferred.

Historical film or slide-scanning experience is a plus.

***STRICT EDITORIAL STANDARDS***

NO AI EDITING OR IMAGE MANIPULATION.

No generative AI, object removal, cloning, healing, content-aware fill, artificial reconstruction, or creative alterations.

Only traditional Lightroom Classic color, exposure, tonal adjustments, and minimal cropping are permitted.
All editing must be nondestructive.

Compensation

$4–$8 USD/hour, depending on experience and qualifications.
Flexible remote schedule with substantial long-term work available.

How to Apply

Please include ALL of the following:

Relevant work history and Lightroom Classic experience.

Portfolio links with relevant editing samples, preferably before-and-after.

Expected hourly rate.

Weekly availability and estimated daily editing capacity.


Incomplete or generic applications without supporting work samples will not be considered.

Shortlisted applicants will be offered a paid editing test.
