Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: Worldwide
Field: Creative

Review photography and visual-artist briefs, estimates, licensing terms and production risks for a remote AI evaluation project. The work suits art buyers, creative producers, photography agents, artist representatives and licensing managers with real commissioning or representation experience.

The work

You will assess realistic art-buying and photography-representation cases. Tasks include matching briefs to suitable photographers or artists, checking estimates for missing or inflated costs, evaluating usage rights, and identifying contract, release, insurance or production-logistics gaps. Each judgment requires a concise written rationale that another reviewer can follow.

What micro1 screens for

The platform looks for professional experience commissioning, licensing or representing photographers or other visual artists for agencies, brands, publications or studios. Screening may test your command of briefs, estimates, negotiation, contracts, delivery, image licensing and usage terms. Clear written English is required. The stated curation interview focuses on experience with exhibitions, collections and attribution, although the project itself is framed around commercial commissioning and representation.

Practical details

This is a worldwide remote contractor role. The work is task based and appears suited to asynchronous completion, but typical weekly hours and scheduling expectations are not stated. Applicants submit a resume and short profile, complete the curation interview, and, if selected, receive guidelines before an initial reviewed task.

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This verifies that you have handled a real engagement and can distinguish your own decisions from those made by clients, producers or legal teams.
A strong answer: Describe the brief, client context, your role, the artist-selection process, the commercial constraints and the final outcome. Be precise about which decisions you personally owned.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose credibility by describing a campaign generally without identifying the brief, their authority or a concrete commissioning or representation decision.
