Job description

Role Title: Photography and Cinematography Expert

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

Opportunity Snapshot

Pay: $55 to $100 per hour

Location: Fully remote, worldwide

You’ll need: Professional experience shooting photo or video for clients, productions, publications or brands

Your tasks: Review photo and video work and briefs, judge technical quality, composition and brief match, and explain your decisions in writing

You’ll review photo and video work and judge it: what works, what doesn’t, and why. This is a good fit if you work as a photographer, cinematographer, director of photography or camera operator and make decisions about light, framing, camera settings and final delivery. You need professional experience shooting for clients, productions or publications, and clear written English.

Scope of Work

1. Look at photos or video clips and judge which one is stronger for a given brief and audience.
2. Check exposure, focus, color, framing, lens choice and camera movement.
3. Flag technical problems that would show up later (noise, flicker, clipped highlights, wrong frame rate or format).
4. Check that the work fits the brief and the intended use (print, web, social, broadcast, film).
5. Write a short explanation for each decision so a reviewer can follow your reasoning.

What we’re looking for

1. Professional work as a photographer, cinematographer, director of photography, camera operator or video producer.
2. Experience with real jobs: briefs, shoot days, post-production and delivery to a client.
3. Daily use of professional cameras and editing or grading tools such as Lightroom, Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve or Premiere.
4. Comfort explaining why one shot works and another doesn’t.
5. Clear written English.

How the selection process works

1. Complete the curation interview. It is a short conversation about your experience with exhibitions, collections and attribution. You don’t need to prepare, look at anything or write anything. Finishing it is what moves your application forward.
2. Review. We check your experience against what the project needs.
3. Onboarding and first task. If selected, you get the guidelines and start with an initial task, which is reviewed before you continue.
