About the Role
Support the delivery of high-quality artwork imagery across the gallery’s archive, sales, marketing, digital and publication channels during a fixed-term maternity cover period. Retouch and prepare digital files to established standards, ensuring faithful colour, texture, scale and surface representation of artworks. Requires a highly accurate, conservation-minded approach to image production, with an emphasis on consistency, efficiency and timely delivery across a high-volume workflow.
Responsibilities
- Carry out precise, non-destructive retouching of Fine Art artwork imagery in line with gallery standards and photographer guidance, ensuring faithful colour, texture, scale and surface representation.
- Remove photographic or production artefacts such as dust, background marks, sensor spots, lighting inconsistencies and minor capture issues, while preserving the integrity and material character of the artwork.
- Composite multiple captures where required, including exposure blends, stitched details, background extensions or complex installation views, while maintaining visual accuracy and consistency.
- Apply strong colour-management practice across the post-production workflow, including ICC profiles, colour spaces and troubleshooting profile-related issues to ensure accurate, consistent output for print and digital use.
- Create and use batch-processing workflows, Photoshop Actions and repeatable production methods to support efficient, consistent image delivery across a high-volume workload.
- Undertake quality-control checks before delivery, including colour accuracy, crop, dust removal, file naming, resolution, profile assignment and output suitability.
- Utilise Adobe Creative Cloud apps to edit and prepare digital images for archive, print, online, sales and marketing use, ensuring consistency in image quality and style across all platforms.
- Follow established photography and post-production standards, including file naming, categorisation, metadata, colour workflow, quality control and archive readiness.
- Work in close collaboration with staff photographers, Publications, Digital, Communications and Sales teams to ensure high-quality images are reproduced and used consistently across all channels.
- Assist with and provide technical guidance on more complex image requests from Communications, Sales and Photography teams, helping to resolve production challenges efficiently and to agreed standards.
- Work closely with the Publications team on repro projects as and when required, including processing and proofing client-supplied imagery, identifying and carrying out retouching, and assisting with final colour checks before files are sent to print.
- Prioritise and manage multiple projects simultaneously, ensuring timely delivery of high-quality images for archive, publication, digital, social, sales and marketing requirements.
- Explore and implement new techniques, standards and best practice to streamline the post-production workflow, improve efficiency and maintain quality across the image pipeline.
- Carry out additional image-editing duties as required by the line manager, in line with gallery priorities and agreed production standards.
Requirements
- Proven experience as a Post-Production Technician, Image Retoucher or similar role, preferably within an art-related, cultural, publishing, museum, gallery or creative production environment.
- Strong knowledge of artwork retouching, colour correction, non-destructive Photoshop workflows, ICC profiles, colour spaces, digital image file formats and output requirements for print and digital use.
- Excellent attention to detail, with the ability to maintain high levels of consistency, accuracy and quality across multiple projects and image types.
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage and prioritise multiple projects in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
- Able to work confidently within established workflows, manage competing deadlines and maintain consistent output during a fixed-term maternity cover period.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with photographers and cross-functional teams.
- A careful visual eye, strong sensitivity to artwork reproduction and an understanding of how high-quality imagery supports archive, sales, publication, digital and client-facing presentation.
