Working at Perfocal - Photo Editor Perfocal Employee Review

Job arranged on your behalf and no editing required

Not a consistent flow of opportunities

Part time work Fast ish payment Low effort

They are not photographers and they are not interested in adding value as they claim. The sales pitch to work for them is they edit the photos and therefore save the photographer time, but in reality they don't edit the photos they simply send them on as is to the client and hope for the best. I recently did a job for them I sent the images as shot and noted to them that they'd simply need cropping which is a basic edit and they didn't bother. I got paid for the work but as a professional with standards I don’t agree that they are willingly lying to photographers to get us to work for them for less than our usual fees. I also raised my concern with them asking why they hadn’t cropped the images and they simply ignored me. The pay is also low considering they are simply taking the money they claim they'd spend on editing the images. I would much prefer to do the job directly with the client and do a better job.
