Realistic Instagram Photo Creation

I already have the reference shots and need them transformed into two ultra-sharp, lifelike images ready for Instagram. One image will become my profile picture; the other will be a regular feed post.

Both edits should feature a customised background that feels casual—not stiff or overly stylised—while still looking polished. I’m open to your creative suggestions here, as long as the final look blends naturally with my pose and lighting.

Scope of work
• Retouch skin and facial details subtly so everything looks authentic.
• Design or composite a casual-looking background that complements, not distracts.
• Deliver two high-resolution files in sRGB, large enough for future print use as well as Instagram’s recommended dimensions (profile: 320×320 px optimised; feed: 1080×1350 px or similar).
• After approval, upload both files to my Instagram account at maximum quality; I’ll provide temporary access or can screen-share if you prefer.

Acceptance criteria
– Both images appear realistic with no obvious editing artefacts.
– Colours remain consistent across devices.
– Background matches the casual theme and feels natural.
– Files pass Instagram compression with minimal quality loss.

Photoshop, Lightroom, Capture One or equivalent retouching tools are fine by me—use what gets the best result. Turnaround within a few days is ideal; let me know your timeline and any questions you have.
