Life as a Senior Photo Retoucher

At LOOP, every image tells a story — and we’re looking for a Senior Photo Retoucher who can turn exceptional shots into unforgettable visuals.

You’re a perfectionist with a creative edge, blending technical precision with an artistic eye.

From high-end fashion campaigns to sleek automotive shoots, you’ll elevate every frame with refined color, tone, and texture — ensuring each image not only meets but defines LOOP’s visual standards. You thrive in collaborative environments, partnering with photographers, producers, and creatives to achieve flawless results. With your mastery of retouching tools and growing knowledge of AI workflows, you’ll refine efficiency without ever compromising artistry. Whether in the studio or on-site, your work ensures every detail aligns seamlessly with brand vision and creative intent.

Requirements and Responsibilities

• Perfect Every Pixel: Deliver high-end retouching across fashion, product, still-life, and automotive photography with a meticulous eye for detail and visual harmony.
• Shape Visual Consistency: Develop and apply expert color grading, texture refinement, and compositional balance to ensure each asset aligns with brand identity and campaign tone.
• Leverage AI Efficiency: Utilize emerging AI-based tools and workflows to accelerate production while maintaining LOOP’s signature aesthetic and precision.
• Collaborate Creatively: Work closely with photographers, art directors, and producers to align visual outcomes with creative direction and storytelling goals.
• Bring On-Site Expertise: Support productions as a DIT (Digital Image Technician) when needed — offering on-location image management, quality control, and technical troubleshooting.
• Travel Globally: Join selected productions around the world, ensuring image quality and workflow continuity from capture to final delivery.
• Refine and Deliver: Use Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and Capture One at an expert level to polish every image, maintaining LOOP’s commitment to visual excellence.

At LOOP, we believe great work deserves fair pay — and that transparency builds trust. For this role, the gross annual starting salary (full-time, based in Austria) is EUR 45,000. That’s our baseline for candidates who meet the key requirements. If you bring more to the table — deeper experience, sharper skills — we’re ready to reflect that in your offer. Our internal compensation framework is designed to keep things fair, structured, and clear.
