Expert Photo & Video Editor Needed — Restoration, Enhancement & Digital Album Creation

We are looking for a highly skilled and creative Photo & Video Editor who can transform low-resolution, older, imperfect, or poorly captured images and videos into clean, polished, professional, memorable, and high-resolution visual content.

This role goes beyond basic editing. We need someone who can restore and enhance source material, then turn it into beautiful finished products that can be enjoyed digitally or professionally printed.

The final work may be used for:

Digital photo albums

Digital video albums / memory videos

High-resolution photo books

Large-format posters

Banners

Framed prints

Book covers

Diary and journal covers

Personalized gifts

Social media

Websites

Presentations

Promotional and commemorative materials

The goal is to take ordinary, low-quality, or aging source material and turn it into something professional, emotionally memorable, visually beautiful, and suitable for long-term preservation or gifting.

What You’ll Be Doing

You will work with existing photos and videos and improve them through techniques such as:

Enhancing and upscaling low-resolution images

Restoring older or damaged photographs

Improving sharpness, clarity, detail, and overall resolution

Correcting lighting, exposure, contrast, and color

Removing noise, grain, compression artifacts, blur, scratches, and imperfections

Cleaning, repairing, or replacing backgrounds when appropriate

Retouching images while maintaining a natural appearance

Improving composition, framing, cropping, and visual balance

Reconstructing or enhancing details where technically appropriate

Preparing images for both digital viewing and professional printing

Enhancing low-resolution or poorly recorded videos

Stabilizing and cleaning video footage

Improving video lighting, color, sharpness, and overall presentation

Editing clips into polished memory or storytelling videos

Adding appropriate transitions, titles, text, music, and effects

Creating visually cohesive photo and video collections

Designing digital albums with professional layouts

Creating print-ready artwork for posters, banners, books, diaries, journals, and gifts

Required Final Outputs

A major part of this project is ensuring that the enhanced content can be used across multiple formats without losing quality.

Final deliverables may include:

Digital Photo Albums

Professionally designed digital albums that combine restored and enhanced photos into attractive, cohesive layouts.

Digital Video Albums

Edited memory videos or visual-storytelling videos combining photographs, video clips, music, titles, transitions, and other tasteful creative elements.

High-Resolution Print Files

Images must be prepared at sufficient quality and resolution for professional printing, including:

Large posters

Banners

Framed photographs

Photo books

Book covers

Diary covers

Journal covers

Greeting or commemorative materials

Personalized gifts

Where necessary, the editor should understand print resolution, dimensions, DPI/PPI, aspect ratios, bleed, cropping, and large-format output requirements.

The final files should remain sharp, clean, and professional when enlarged.

Creative Album & Gift Design

We are also looking for someone who can help turn enhanced photographs into meaningful finished products.

Examples may include:

Family memory albums

Personal history albums

Celebration albums

Memorial or commemorative albums

Anniversary collections

Birthday gifts

Graduation gifts

Personalized diaries and journals

Custom book covers

Wall posters and framed artwork

Large-format banners

Digital memory presentations

The editor should have a good sense of typography, spacing, visual hierarchy, storytelling, and page composition.

The goal is not simply to improve individual photographs. We want someone who can turn collections of photos and videos into memorable visual experiences and keepsakes.

What We’re Looking For

The ideal freelancer has experience in both technical media enhancement and creative design.

You should be able to look at an ordinary or low-quality image or video and determine how to make it significantly more professional.

We are especially interested in someone who:

Has an excellent eye for visual quality and composition

Has demonstrated experience enhancing low-resolution images

Understands image restoration and AI-assisted image enhancement

Can intelligently upscale images for large-format printing

Understands professional print preparation

Can improve quality without making people or objects look artificial

Has strong photo retouching and color-correction skills

Has professional video-editing experience

Can create attractive digital photo albums

Can create memorable video albums or visual stories

Understands typography and layout design

Can prepare artwork for books, diaries, journals, posters, and banners

Understands storytelling, pacing, and emotional presentation

Can create clean, modern, premium-looking content

Pays close attention to details

Can work independently and make intelligent creative decisions

Is comfortable receiving feedback and making revisions

Preferred Tools / Skills

Experience with some combination of the following is preferred:

Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Lightroom

Adobe Premiere Pro

Adobe After Effects

Adobe InDesign

DaVinci Resolve

Topaz Photo AI / Gigapixel

Topaz Video AI

AI-based image restoration and enhancement tools

AI upscaling tools

Generative image editing tools

Professional color-grading tools

Photo album / photo book design software

Print-layout and prepress tools

We are not concerned about which specific tools you use as long as the final result is exceptional and suitable for its intended digital or print use.

Quality Standard

We are looking for more than simple filters, sharpening, or automated AI upscaling.

The final work should look:

Clean. Professional. Natural. High-resolution. Timeless. Memorable.

AI tools are welcome where appropriate, but the finished product should demonstrate professional judgment and manual refinement.

We do not want photographs that look obviously AI-generated, excessively sharpened, overprocessed, plastic, or unnatural.

Faces and important details must remain recognizable and authentic.

For print applications, the final work must also be prepared appropriately so that it remains visually strong when used on larger physical formats.

To Apply

Please include:

A portfolio showing your best photo and video editing work.

Before-and-after examples of low-resolution images you have restored or enhanced.

Examples of photographs you have prepared for large-format printing.

Examples of photo albums, photo books, or similar layouts you have designed.

Before-and-after examples of video enhancement, if available.

Examples of memory videos, video albums, or storytelling videos you have created.

Examples of poster, banner, book-cover, journal-cover, or gift designs, if available.

The main software and AI tools you use.

A brief explanation of how you would turn a low-resolution photograph into a high-quality image suitable for both a digital album and a large printed poster.

Important: Please provide actual examples of your work. Before-and-after examples and examples of final printed or album-ready designs will be heavily considered when selecting a freelancer.

Potential for Ongoing Work

We are looking for someone we can potentially work with on an ongoing basis.

If the quality of the initial work is strong, there may be opportunities for additional:

Photo restoration

Photo enhancement

Video restoration and editing

Digital album creation

Photo-book design

Memory-video creation

Poster and banner design

Book and diary cover design

Personalized gift designs

Promotional and commemorative content

We value quality, creativity, emotional impact, attention to detail, and consistency above speed.
