Job description

Are you a Lightroom and Photoshop wizard?
Do you care about details and refuse to cut corners?
Can you follow a defined process step-by-step, repeatedly, without drifting?
Are you able to stay focused, move fast, and produce clean, consistent edits at scale?
Does the panoramic format interest you?

The Role
Since 1919, Central Photo Company has been photographing panoramic group portraits at iconic American landmarks.
The Lab Crew is responsible for editing and delivering those images after they’re captured in the field. This is an in-office role based in Washington, DC.

  • The Field Crew captures the image. The Lab Crew ensures it’s edited, processed, and delivered correctly every time.
  • You take each photo from captured → edited → delivered.
  • Speed matters a lot. Consistency matters more.

  • Receive image sets from the field
  • Edit in Lightroom
  • Refine and retouch in Photoshop
  • Prepare and export for print
  • Log, track, and archive files
You are expected to maintain speed, follow the system, and produce consistent results across every batch.
Who Thrives Here
This role is well-suited for people who:
  • Are detail-oriented and process-driven
  • Can stay focused for long periods of time
  • Work quickly without sacrificing quality
  • Are comfortable with repetition and production workflows
  • Take pride in making people look good in photos
  • Care about historic landmarks, group experiences, and preserving moments
  • Communicate clearly and work well within a team
This is a customer-facing business. Even in the lab, care, accountability, and follow-through matter.
Required Skills

  • Strong proficiency in both Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop
  • Solid understanding of editing fundamentals (lighting, color correction, masking, etc.)
  • Comfort using hotkeys and working efficiently within Adobe workflows
  • Experience editing people, large groups, and outdoor environments
  • Strong retouching ability with an eye for balance and consistency
  • Ability to follow a structured editing process
  • Strong organizational and file management skills
  • Clear communication and ability to work within a team
Preferred Experience
Experience with high-volume editing workflows
Able to self-correct and maintain consistency across batches
