photo editor’s job varies depending on the industry in which they work. All photo editors generally identify photography needs, assign projects to photographers, review images, edit and manipulate photos, and approve images for publication and dissemination. Photo editors often manage multiple staff members and oversee their workloads to ensure deadlines are met. Photo editors at news agencies can work long hours in order to meet multiple daily production deadlines. Those employed at magazines or publishing houses may work more standard business hours, and produce long-form photo projects such as multi-page photography narratives.
