Role: Photo Studio Coordinator

Location: Culver City, CA (On-site 3 days/week)

The Vibe: We are looking for the "Air Traffic Controller" of our client's flagship LA photo studio. This isn't a role for someone who wants to be behind the lens; it's for the person who ensures the lens is pointed in the right direction at the right time. Supporting Music content, you will be the primary liaison between high-profile artists, their management, and our creative team. You are the "splitter"-the person who filters communication so the photographers can stay focused on the craft.

What You'll Do:

• Talent Liaison & "Air Traffic Control": Act as the onsite point of contact for Artist Relations, translating schedule shifts into actionable plans for the studio team.
• Operational Excellence: Manage the daily "Tetris" of a three-story flagship studio, ensuring a seamless journey for 50-75 artists per month.
• Editorial Selection (The "Photo Edit"): Conduct fast-paced photo selects (picking the best shots) for real-time delivery to artist teams; no heavy retouching required, but a strong editorial eye is a must.
• Workflow Management: Oversee artist approval tracks, document feedback, and manage the flow of imagery from capture to delivery.
• Gear & Space Curation: Maintain a "beautiful and organized" gear closet; monitor equipment health and handle logistics when gear needs repair or refreshing.

What You Bring:

• Studio Pedigree: Experience working in high-volume, high-profile environments (e.g., specialized photo agencies, or as a Studio Manager for a major commercial/celebrity photographer).
• High EQ/Client Facing: You are comfortable and professional when interacting with celebrity talent and their management.
• Independence: A self-starter who doesn't need a manual to solve a problem when the schedule changes 10 times in an hour.
• Technical Literacy: Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (specifically for selecting/exporting files) and an understanding of professional photography workflows and equipment.
• Process-Oriented: You don't just follow workflows; you enjoy building or improving them.

**Nice-to-Have Qualifications:**

* An enthusiastic interest in culture and lifestyle, coupled with a craft-focused eye for visual detail.
