Vibrant Retouching 97 Birthday Photos

I have 97 treasured shots from my grandpa’s 100th-birthday celebration and they all need the same professional touch. Every image should keep the joy of the day while looking bright and vibrant overall.

The job calls for detailed retouching: people must look their best and any distracting background items should disappear without giving away that they were ever there. To be crystal-clear, each portrait needs attention to the following:

• Skin blemishes and shine
• Wrinkles and under-eye shadows
• Teeth, eyes, and stray hair
• Removal of harsh or unwanted shadows on faces

I usually work with high-resolution JPEGs, so please return the finished files in that format (a separate TIFF set is fine if that suits your workflow). Subtle color grading in Lightroom or Capture One is welcome, but final compositing and cleanup will likely sit in Photoshop—use whatever combination achieves the cleanest, most natural-looking results while keeping colours lively.

Once we agree on the approach, share a brief test edit on two photos so we can confirm style and pacing. After that, I’d like all 97 delivered together, zipped and ready for printing or online sharing.

Let me know your estimated turnaround time and any clarifying questions; I’m keen to get these memories polished and framed soon.
