Straub Collaborative

Straub Collaborative is seeking a highly skilled Digital Retouch Artist to join our team.

We’re looking for someone who can give a lot of love to a photo and pay critical attention to color. You needn’t be a part-time print production designer, or identity creator, we’ll appreciate you for who you are - which hopefully is a rock-solid retouch artist with a penchant for creating outstanding finished work.

We want to work with someone who cares about his/her work quality, can communicate well with photographers, producers and if need be, The Client, as well as recognize that point of diminishing returns on a photo. Some projects are detailed, beautiful works of art, and some are thousands of attractive and consistent product photos. We will look to you in both cases to appropriately clean, compose, and color-correct the work while always taking in to account the budgeted scope and timeline.

If you or someone you know sounds like the type of person we’re looking for, give us a shout… wait, no…an email.

Job Guidelines
▪ Please be highly skilled in photoshop. We don’t expect you to know every command and shortcut, but 80% “mastery” is what we’re hoping for. We are seeking individuals with at least 4 years of thorough, highly-relatable experience.
▪ Please be attentive to color. Color correction is very important here at Straub, it impacts on-screen accuracy for web jpgs and critically impacts the results on press. Love color, know RGB/CMYK/Pantone, be able to discern a magenta cast vs. too much yellow in an image, strive for excellence.
▪ Be prepared to accept input and direction from your producers and photo/stylist team, and at times from the client’s art director.
▪ Anticipate an open, enthusiastic work environment that is driven by our client’s expectations. You are as vital an artist to us in many cases as our photographers and stylists are and we are a team.

This is a Hourly-wage position, depending upon experience & skill-set; with medical, dental, retirement, life insurance, and all of the stumptown coffee on site you need to go from 0-100.  Just as long as you can keep that mouse or stylus steady!
