Natural Food Photo Retouching

I have a set of food-item shots that need a subtle, natural polish before they go live on Instagram. Each image already looks appetising; what I need is that clean, minimalistic touch that modern feeds favour—balanced white tones, gentle colour corrections, and removal of minor distractions—while keeping textures and colours realistic so viewers still feel the dish’s freshness.

You’ll receive high-resolution RAW or JPEG files (depending on the shoot) and return fully edited JPEGs optimised for Instagram’s 4:5 and square ratios. Please preserve the original aspect if cropping compromises the composition; otherwise feel free to adjust framing to strengthen visual flow. No artificial filters, heavy saturation, or obvious skin-smoothing presets—just refined, professional edits that let the food speak for itself.

Deliverables:
• Final JPEGs at 3000 px shortest side, sRGB colour space
• Layered PSDs (or equivalent) so I can tweak text overlays later
• Consistent exposure, colour balance, and gentle sharpening across the full set

I value sharp attention to detail and a solid grasp of current Instagram aesthetics. If you’re comfortable with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop (or comparable tools) and can turn around a small test batch within 24 hours, I’d love to see your portfolio of similar natural, minimal food edits and discuss the full project.
