JOB OVERVIEW

About the role:
I run a real estate photography business in Queensland, Australia, photographing 60-80 properties a month (plus 20+ videos monthly). We're a small family business and looking to expand. I'm looking for one dedicated, experienced editor — not an agency, not a team, and not outsourced to subeditors or AI. You will be doing the editing yourself, every time.

What you'll be doing:
- Hand-blending HDR real estate photos (5 brackets supplied per image) — this requires manual exposure blending and masking, not a preset or batch-applied filter across all images. If I wanted a single preset run across a shoot, I'd do that myself. I need someone who can judge each image and blend, mask and colour correct by hand where it's needed.
- Delivering a bright, vibrant look with accurate window pulls and clean color cast removal
- Applying a fixed sky replacement image consistently across every job (the sky itself is never altered)
- Exporting to two set sizes and organised into separate folders per job
- Editing property videos (optional)
- Meeting next-day turnaround as standard

What I'm looking for:
- Genuine, hands-on experience with real estate HDR editing — able to explain your blending and masking process, not just show a portfolio
- You personally do the editing, no teams, no subcontracting, no outsourcing to other editors
- Comfortable with a high, steady daily volume
- Reliable availability and clear communication about capacity
- Able to follow a defined style guide consistently, job after job

What to expect:
- Full time ongoing role - not just a couple of edits
- A tight knit team who cares about you
- Consistent work every day
- Contructive feedback not criticism

Pay:
$1000 USD / month to start, with a review after the first 60 days, at which point pay will be reassessed based on consistency and quality of work.

Application process — please read carefully before applying:
Applications that are just a portfolio link with no other response will not be considered. To apply, please include:
1. 2-3 recent real estate editing samples (before/after if possible)
2. A short written answer to this: "Describe your process for hand-blending exposures and colour corrections on a real estate HDR image"
3. Confirmation that you personally do the editing (not a team or agency)
4. Your typical daily turnaround capacity and availability across the week
5. Include the words "I'm the one" in the subject line to confirm you read the whole ad

Shortlisted applicants will be asked to complete a paid test edit on one of my real listings before any ongoing arrangement is confirmed.
