• Strong understanding and familiarity with all basic digital photography topics, including file types, resolutions, color management, etc.
• Strong understanding and familiarity with the basic photo editing process (knowledge of Light Room preferable) to select the best images within a batch and remove out-of-focus, under-over exposed, and/or redundant images.
