Photo Editor & Album Designer

About Us The Bomshell Experience is a high-end boudoir portrait studio known for luxury service, artistic excellence, and transformative client experiences. We create museum-quality artwork, handcrafted albums, and custom portraits designed to empower the women we serve. As we continue to grow, we are seeking a skilled and detail-obsessed Photo Editor & Album Designer to join our team. Position Overview We’re looking for someone with an exceptional eye—someone who can bring out the best in each portrait while maintaining the integrity and consistency of our brand aesthetic. This is a hybrid role blending technical editing, album design, creative judgment, and client communication. You must be able to deliver a high-end client experience while confidently protecting artistic boundaries and studio standards. You’ll collaborate with photographers, reveal specialists, and our production team to ensure every final product represents the excellence we are known for. Key Responsibilities Edit client galleries using Bomshell Experience presets and retouching standards Perform clean, high-end skin editing with natural texture retention Design luxury albums and wall art layouts (Fundy or SmartAlbums preferred) Prepare print-ready packages and place orders with production partners Communicate with clients regarding album approvals and minor revision rounds Reinforce revision limits and guide clients back to brand-aligned expectations Maintain consistent color, tone, and style across all client collections Uphold organized workflows, file systems, and delivery timelines Collaborate with the team for quality control and project flow Ideal Candidate You’re someone who: Has 2+ years of photo editing experience (boudoir/portrait experience is a major plus). Is fluent in Adobe Lightroom + Photoshop. Has a portfolio demonstrating retouching and layout skills. Is naturally detail-oriented and thrives on precision. Communicates professionally, clearly, and confidently. Can maintain brand authority and uphold artistic standards with clients. Works well in a fast-paced studio environment. Is organized, proactive, and dependable with deadlines. This Role Is Not For You If: You take client requests literally without filtering them through artistic standards. You can’t confidently tell a client “that retouch would compromise the artwork.” You over-edit or rely heavily on smoothing filters. You prefer working in your own style over following a luxury brand aesthetic. You need constant reminders or micromanagement. You struggle to stay organized or manage multiple projects. You dislike feedback or refining work for consistency. You get overwhelmed in high-volume or detail-driven workflows. You want a role where “good enough” is acceptable — here, excellence is the minimum. Compensation To ensure transparency and align expectations with industry norms, compensation for this role reflects Syracuse’s creative market rates for skilled mid-level editors and designers and is based on experience. The right full-time candidate can expect to make $45,000 - $55,000 per year. Part-time schedules will be scaled proportionally. Project-based compensation (per album or per gallery) may be available depending on workflow. Perks such as a complimentary photoshoot experience add additional non-monetary value.
