Generate Polished Professional Headshot

Job ID: 40009162

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

I’ll supply my current photo along with a friend’s image that perfectly captures the clean, slightly digitised look I’m after. Using Photoshop or any comparable retouching tool, please transform my shot into a professional-style headshot that feels consistent with the reference.

What I need you to do:
• Replace the existing background with a subtle, studio-like backdrop that keeps the focus on me.
• Correct colour and lighting so skin tones look natural, balanced and vibrant. (Note that copying my friend's image it is super dark but it is intended to give you an idea of what I am looking for.
• Apply light facial touch-ups—blemish removal, gentle smoothing, and sharpening—while ensuring the result still looks authentic.

Deliverables:
1. Final, high-resolution JPEG ready for LinkedIn, company site and print.
2. (Optional but appreciated) A layered PSD so I can make small tweaks later if needed.

Turnaround within a couple of days is ideal. Let me know if you need any other details or reference files to get started—looking forward to seeing your work!
