Natural Portrait Lighting Enhancement

I have a set of portraits where the color feels off because the subjects were unevenly lit on the day of the shoot. I’m happy with the composition, but the light variations across faces and backgrounds make the images look less natural than I’d like.

Your task is to balance the exposure and color so each portrait looks consistently lit while still retaining a realistic, flattering finish. Think gentle tonal work in Lightroom or Photoshop—lifting shadows where they fall too heavily, taming hotspots, and bringing the overall exposure into harmony. I’m not looking for heavy skin-retouching or background swaps; the main priority is natural-looking light correction that preserves texture and avoids that over-processed sheen.

I’ll provide the RAW files (or high-resolution JPEGs if that’s easier for you). Please return color-corrected, print-ready images in the original resolution along with layered PSDs so I can make tiny tweaks later if needed.
