Natural Portrait Photo Editing

I’ll be sending you a set of portrait-style images that need to look their absolute best while still feeling like the real me. Your main tasks are to refine the lighting, colour, and sharpness so each shot has a crisp, well-balanced finish, then carry out a very subtle skin retouch. Think of it as brushing away tiny blemishes and distractions without touching the natural skin texture or altering facial features in any way.

Where backgrounds show small flaws or stray objects, a light clean-up to keep them unobtrusive is welcome, but the priority remains on realistic, high-quality portraits.

Final files should be delivered at the original resolution in both layered PSD (so I can review the adjustments) and flattened, web-ready JPEGs. Please keep all edits non-destructive and reversible. My acceptance criteria are simple: the viewer should notice the overall improvement but never suspect the photo was edited.
