Senior Photographer, Part-Time AI Image Annotation - Remote (United States)

• $55–$105 per hour

• 100% remote

• Part-time

• Fully flexible schedule

Work on visual AI projects, on your own schedule, and apply your professional photography judgment to image data.

The AI systems everyone is talking about are trained and tested by people who understand images in the real world. The teams building them need professional photographers who can prepare realistic image examples, judge whether an AI understands what a photograph shows, write the description a photography expert would give, and explain where the AI misses important details or context. Your judgment helps shape the next generation of image-based AI. This is that work, done remotely as a part-time contractor.

What you’ll do

• Write precise descriptions, labels, captions and context for portraits and landscapes

• Review photographic data for accuracy and consistency across commercial and editorial images

• Analyze images and explain the subjects, visual details and surrounding context a professional viewer would notice

• Organize image data and submit it using the project guidelines, then apply coordinator feedback to improve your work
