DJ photoshoot color grading and slight photo editing

I have a set of photographs that look technically fine but feel a little flat. I want the overall color tone lifted so every image feels brighter, cleaner, and more vivid — colors should pop yet still look true-to-life rather than over-saturated. Along with this grading pass, a touch of basic retouching will be helpful (removing minor blemishes or distractions).

You are free to work in Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, or your preferred color-focused workflow as long as the final files come back to me in the original resolution plus layered PSDs or editable raws so I can make tweaks later if needed.

Please tell me about your experience doing similar grading work, ideally with before/after samples that demonstrate a balanced, natural yet vibrant finish. If we’re a good match, I’ll share the full image set and any reference shots so you can begin right away.
