Overview
Graphic Designer and Photo Retoucher Jobs in Philippines at Mooning
Mooning is an advisory, marketing and creative studio built for the brands looking to lead their industry. We use emerging technology, AI, blockchain and Web3, to help companies grow faster, look better and operate smarter. Strategy, brand, content, growth hacking, M&A. All under one roof, all powered by people who actually know this space.
The opportunity:
This role is for someone who can do both things properly. Design and retouch.
You heard me right.
A lot of people can design. Fewer can actually retouch a photograph to a professional standard. We need someone who lives in Photoshop, knows what frequency separation is without having to Google it and can take a raw image from a shoot and turn it into something ready for a campaign. Not just a filtered version of what was already there. Something genuinely better.
On top of that, you can design. Social assets, campaign graphics, brand visuals, digital collateral across platforms. You understand layout, type, colour and how to build things that look like they belong to a brand rather than just near it.
Content ranges from polished brand campaigns to fast-turnaround social assets. Both matter. Both need to be good.
NOTE: You must include a link to your portfolio in your application. We want to see retouching work specifically. Applications without examples will not be considered.
What you’ll be doing:
Tasks include but aren’t limited to:
- High-end photo retouching across portrait, beauty, lifestyle and product photography. Skin retouching using frequency separation and dodge and burn, colour correction, compositing, background replacement and object removal. The work needs to look natural, not processed.
- RAW file editing and batch processing. Consistency across a full shoot, not just hero images.
- Compositing and photo manipulation. Combining elements, integrating AI-generated imagery with real photography and building scenes that hold together under scrutiny.
- Graphic design across social media platforms including Instagram, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, TikTok and Discord. Banners, carousels, infographics, thumbnails and campaign assets built for each platform.
- Brand consistency across all deliverables. Every asset should look like it belongs to the client.
- Campaign collaboration. Work with the creative and strategy teams to translate briefs into visuals that do the job. Understanding the brief matters as much as executing it.
- Feedback and iteration. Fast turnarounds and thick skin both required.
- Staying across visual trends in AI, Web3 and crypto. These audiences have seen everything. Generic doesn’t cut it.
Tools you’ll need to know:
Photoshop is the heart of this role. You need to be genuinely proficient, not familiar. Beyond that:
- Adobe Photoshop (required at an advanced level, this is non-negotiable)
- Adobe Lightroom or Capture One for RAW processing and batch editing
- Adobe Illustrator
- Adobe InDesign
- Figma
- Canva (for fast-turnaround social content)
Familiarity with AI tools will be looked upon very favourably:
We produce a significant volume of AI-generated imagery that needs human refinement to reach a professional standard. Experience integrating AI tools into a retouching or design workflow is a real advantage:
- Adobe Photoshop Generative Fill for AI-assisted compositing, object removal and background generation
- Midjourney or Adobe Firefly for image generation and ideation
- Stable Diffusion or DALL-E for image creation
- Topaz Photo AI or Gigapixel AI for upscaling and enhancement
- Luminar Neo for AI-powered retouching and sky replacement
- Runway for AI-assisted visual content
What we’re looking for:
Prior professional experience in both graphic design and photo retouching is required. We need someone who has retouched real images for real clients and can show us the work.
The retouching side of this role carries the most weight in our hiring decision. We work with a lot of photography and AI-generated imagery that needs a skilled human eye to bring it to standard. If your portfolio shows strong, natural retouching work, you’re already ahead of most applicants.
We are looking for people who want to work in a fast-paced environment, show initiative and are hungry to learn.
To make sure our culture continues to incorporate everyone’s perspectives, we never discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, or marital, veteran, or disability status.
Send your CV and a link to your portfolio, retouching examples included. No portfolio, no consideration.
Let’s make something worth looking at.
