About Charles Owen

I am an Editorial Photo Editor at Shutterstock, where I use my passion and skills for photography and editing to create captivating and engaging images for various media platforms. I have over 13 years of experience as a professional photographer and editor, and a Bachelor's Degree in Photography from Brooks Institute of Photography. Previously, I was an Editing Manager and Lead Editor at The Kive Company, a startup that provides high-quality photo services. There, I led a team of 20+ editors, trained new and existing employees, created a new department, and collaborated with cross-functional partners to ensure optimal retouching of 10K+ images on a daily basis. I also cut production time by 50%, resulting in the company becoming profitable. I am proficient in Mac, Lighting, Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and Commercial Photography. My mission is to work with people and capture their stories through my lens.
