Image Archivist — Photo Picks + Accurate Metadata for Instagram
PAYMENT: US$100 every two weeks for one year (26 weeks), with option to renew if interested. I run a social media page focused on Mars surface photography. I’m hiring a reliable research assistant to curate one exceptional Mars image every two weeks from official NASA image archives and deliver it to me with clean, accurate metadata so I can post consistently. This role is primarily research + curation + metadata capture. No community management. No posting. Minimal writing (optional English caption draft is a plus). What you’ll do (biweekly cadence) Every two weeks, you will: - Identify 1 “stunning” Mars image suitable for a social media post (high-impact, sharp, interesting lighting/terrain/features). - Provide 2 backup candidates (in case I prefer an alternate). - Deliver the image(s) with source links and verifiable metadata. Required deliverables for each image For the primary image (and basic info for backups), deliver: - Image file in best available quality (or direct link to the best-quality official source file) - Mission type: Which mission the photo came from - Camera/instrument used for photo. - Sol (Martian day) and Earth date/time (as available from the archive) - Location / geography context (as available): Mars location name, target name, notable feature, or traverse/location reference - Short “why this is interesting” note (2–5 bullets): e.g., geologic feature, atmospheric conditions, dust devils, wheel tracks, dunes, sunset, etc. - Usage notes: any important caveats (composite, mosaic, enhanced color, downlinked partial, etc.) Quality bar (what “stunning” means here) I’m looking for images that are: - Visually striking (composition, texture, lighting, depth, color/tonal contrast) - Technically clean (sharp focus where appropriate, minimal compression artifacts, not overly noisy unless it’s a special event) - Interesting subject matter (unique rocks, layers, dunes, wheel tracks, sky/atmospheric moments, big vistas, close-up textures, etc.) - Correctly attributed with accurate metadata (no guessing) Source requirements - NO AI IMAGE GENERATION WHATSOEVER - Must come from official NASA image sources or officially hosted mission archives. - Provide links sufficient for me to verify provenance and re-download the original.
