Shadow Removal for 1-5 Photos

I have up to five images that look good overall but each one has an unwanted shadow falling across the subject’s face or body. All I need is for those shadows to be removed cleanly while preserving the original colour balance, texture and resolution—no other edits such as cropping, resizing, or background work.

Please work non-destructively in Photoshop (or an equivalent retouching tool) and return the files in the same format and size you receive them. For my own peace of mind, include a quick before/after layer group or separate preview so I can compare the result.

Deliverables
• Retouched versions of the 1-5 photos with facial/body shadows eliminated
• Original resolution and file type maintained
• A simple before/after reference for approval

Once the shadows are gone without any tell-tale smoothing or haloing, the job is complete. I’m after a fast turnaround, so let me know how soon you can have them back.
