Photo/Video Editor

Key Responsibilities

Event Coverage: Shoot high-quality photos and video at Freedom Lab NYC events, talks, and workshops.

Creative Privacy Execution: Develop and execute visual strategies that highlight the community without exposing those who wish to remain private. (Think: focusing on hands typing, silhouettes, environmental shots, over-the-shoulder perspectives, and creative framing).

Post-Production: Edit and produce engaging short-form (social media) and long-form (recaps, educational snippets) video content. Color grade, mix audio, and add motion graphics as needed.

Consent Management: Implement and respect an visual consent system at events (e.g., specific lanyards, stickers, or designated zones for those who do and do not want to be filmed).

Secure Asset Management: Handle all raw and edited media with strict operational security. Use encrypted drives and secure transfer methods; no uploading raw event footage to unencrypted public cloud servers.

What We’re Looking For

Technical Mastery: Proven experience in event photography and video editing. Proficiency in industry-standard tools (Adobe Premiere Pro, Gimp, kdenlive, big plus Linux open source editing tools).

The Privacy-First Mindset: A deep, genuine respect for privacy and digital security. You understand why people in the Bitcoin and privacy-tech space value anonymity, and you view privacy constraints as a creative puzzle rather than a burden.

Adaptability: Ability to shoot in dynamic, sometimes low-light event environments (warehouses, dimly lit bars, tech meetups).

Storytelling Chops: An eye for capturing candid moments, genuine interactions, and the vibe of a room, rather than just staged, cheesy smiles.

NYC Based: Must be located in or able to easily commute to NYC for in-person events.

Bonus Points

You use Bitcoin and understand the broader decentralized tech ecosystem.

You have experience with Cyber Security, Bitcoin technology, lightning, running a node, etc. (e.g., OnionShare, Syncthing, encrypted hardware).

You have a portfolio that demonstrates how you’ve successfully navigated privacy constraints or shot in sensitive environments in the past.

What We Offer

Deep immersion in NYC’s cutting-edge Bitcoin, privacy, and decentralized tech community.

The creative freedom to experiment with new visual styles and storytelling formats.

A mission-driven environment where your work directly helps build and grow a community focused on human freedom.
