Junior editorial photographer

Pay in the destination countries

Monthly, in US dollars. Each country is an Imora admission package — open one for that route's fees, language requirement and deadline.

What does the day look like?

Your day starts with a lighting plot, call sheet, moodboard, model comp cards and location permits. You coordinate hair and makeup artists, wardrobe stylists and set designers, then rig strobes, flags, C-stands, softboxes, beauty dishes and scrims, tether the camera to a laptop with TetherPro for live client review, and direct models for pose, angle and expression. After the shoot you cull raw files, calibrate colour, retouch with frequency separation, dodge and burn and colour grading, and deliver TIFF and JPEG files in Adobe RGB or CMYK.

The tools are Hasselblad H or X series, Phase One IQ, Canon EOS R5, Sony Alpha A7R V, Profoto, Broncolor or Briese lights, EIZO ColorEdge or Apple Pro Display XDR monitors, Capture One Pro, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom Classic, Phocus, and Filecamp or Frame.io for proofing. Shoot days run 10 to 14 hours, with 05:00 calls for sunrise light or late nights for night concepts, freelance bursts followed by desk editing, and no regular 09:00–18:00 pattern. About 15% to 20% of the time is shooting, 40% to 50% is logistics, pitch decks, equipment care and scouting, and 35% to 40% is culling, grading and retouching.
