Why NSW businesses hire an offshore photo editor
A colleague on your hours, at a fraction of the cost.
- High-volume image editing at a fraction of local post-production cost
- Ideal for ecommerce and real estate businesses with large image libraries
- Fast turnaround on product and property photo batches
- NSW businesses save 60–70% hiring an offshore Photo Editor compared to the Sydney market rate of A$50,000–A$65,000 annually
Working hours overlap
Your day is their day shift.
Sydney (AEST)9:00am
Manila (PHT)7:00am
Manila is 2 hours behind Sydney (3 in daylight saving), so your business day is a normal day shift for them.
Can they edit product photos for ecommerce?
Yes. Background removal, white backgrounds, colour correction, and shadow editing for ecommerce product images are core tasks.
Can they handle real estate photography editing?
Yes. Sky replacement, interior brightening, HDR blending, and lens correction are standard real estate photo editing tasks.
How many images can they edit per day?
For standard ecommerce edits, 100–300 images per day. Complex retouching projects have a lower throughput.
Can they work in Lightroom presets?
Yes. Provide your Lightroom preset library and they apply consistent edits across all images in your batch.
How do I send large image batches?
Via Google Drive, Dropbox, or a shared FTP. Most offshore photo editors work with cloud-based file transfers for large volumes.
