• Review selections and retouched assets, provide clear feedback, and ensure final imagery meets creative, technical, platform, and client standards.
• Mentor junior and mid-level creators, photographers, and freelance talent by setting clear expectations and providing constructive creative and technical guidance.
• Organise, back up, upload, and hand over project materials using clear folder structures, consistent naming conventions, and reliable file-management practices.
• Take responsibility for the correct use, care, tracking, security, and timely return of photography equipment and other company production assets.
