Hey folks,
Did you know that we’re hiring? The Phoblographer underwent a bunch of significant changes last year. For example, we made an excellent app! And we’re looking ahead to the future to continue our evolution. With that said, we’re continuing our progressive approach to the photo world. Women, for example, make up half our staff. We’re POC-led. Lots of our team are internationally based, and we’re still growing. To that end, Women, POCs, the LGBTQ+ community, and anyone else is very encouraged to apply. You’ll find on our media kit that Gen Z and Millennials make up most of our readership. Want a steady gig? Take a look. Want an internship? Take a look!
Editor’s Note: If you’d like to apply for a college internship, please let us know! We’ll figure out a way to work with you. Just fill out any of the applications and make a note that you’re looking for college credit. You’ll still be paid, of course.
Photography Science Editor (Hiring Outside the US)
The Phoblographer requires a brand new position: the Science Editor. This person will work closely with the rest of the tech team to expand the site’s coverage. You will be crucial to helping steer the site into a brand new space.
This person will be responsible for working on popular tech and science-based articles in the photo world. Some of it revolves around AI, lighting, lenses, camera sensors, etc. Brainy pieces like what you’ll make are often a whole lot of fun to produce!
Requirements
– Must be proficient with WordPress. This is absolutely mandatory. Other apps that we use are Trello, Gmail for work, and Grammarly. It’s a big plus if you’ve worked with the Gutenberg editor.
– Strong command of the English language; the American dialect and spelling are mandatory. Being able to create enticing leads and headlines will really convince us.
– Previous imaging-tech writing experience. Ideally, we’d like to see articles you’ve written.
– The Phoblographer champions its ethics and has since day one. We refuse to work with Unsplash and believe that creators should be compensated ethically. And we’re also looking for someone with high moral standards.
– Must have industry technical knowledge. We’re talking about more than just apertures and shutter speeds. Demonstrate what you know about sensors, processors, etc. There’s research and interviewing involved with this job.
– Negotiable – one or two articles a week. Longer articles are at least 1200 words. You’ll have to do interviews and format them into cohesive pieces. Otherwise, you can also just write from your own knowledge, but you’ll have to first demonstrate this to us. This is a freelance job. No one on staff (except me) needs to work more than 8 to 12 hours a week. Mental health is vital to us. If you’re working longer than that, then you’re doing something very wrong. We’ve had people waste a lot of time before unnecessarily, and we’re not looking for that. The site treats its workers very well, and we expect the same in return.
– Must be able to meet deadlines and have open communication. We’re usually pretty okay with lateness as long as there’s open communication and it doesn’t become a habit. We’re incredibly flexible.
– Must work well with a team and be able to take the guidance (sometimes constructive criticism) well.
– You’ll have a trial period of three months.
– Monetary payments are made through PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, Western Union, or check. Everyone is paid, on average, no more than 24 hours after submitting an invoice. The Phoblographer is well known for fair and honest compensation amongst the photography blogging world.
– Because of how we work, being located in the following areas is a significant advantage: Mexico, Latin America, Africa, Manila (or the Philippines in general), India, Malaysia, and the United Arab Emirates. We encourage women, people of color (POCS), Gen Z, Millenials, and the LGBTQ+ community to be apply.
– We have a very strict non-compete policy.
How to Apply
Skip the resume and send an impressive cover letter to [email protected], citing the best stuff you’ve done, along with three writing samples demonstrating that you can do the type of work we’re looking for. Links to your website, portfolio, and writing samples should be included.

After your application is received, it will be reviewed by me. Good luck to all applicants!
Tech Specialized Opinion Writer (Hiring Outside the US)

Declassified Researcher (Hiring Outside the US)
This researcher will take over for me on the DeClassified series. Arguably, this is probably one of the most fun jobs on the site. I used to spend lots of time on a Friday digging into the CIA’s Declassified archives about photography. Then I’d find a way to create a coherent story. I enjoyed it, but my role is moving more into being a true Editor in Chief and Publisher of the site. So you’ll be taking the reins from me.
