long-term editor for children’s studio photography.

I need a skilled retoucher to give a series of portraits an artistic, gallery-ready finish. The images already look good straight out of camera, but I want the final files to feel polished and imaginative without slipping into an artificial, over-processed look.

Your main focus will be subtle yet effective skin smoothing and creative background enhancement. Think of it as elevating each photo so viewers notice the subject first, then appreciate the refined atmosphere around them.

Please base your workflow on proven high-end techniques in Photoshop (or an equivalent high-resolution editor) and work non-destructively so I can revisit the layers if needed later. Color grading is mostly locked in; spend your time on texture consistency, tonal balance and background artistry.

When you reach out, link me to past portrait retouching work that shows a similar creative approach—no need for lengthy proposals at this stage, the images will speak for themselves.

Deliverables
• Layered PSD or TIFF files in the original resolution
• A flattened JPEG version optimised for web/social sharing
• Brief notes on any unique effects or textures applied

I’m ready to start as soon as I find the right fit and will supply the RAW files immediately.
