Photo Editing
Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR
I’m searching for a dependable, long-term collaborator who can turn straightforward portrait photographs into images that feel as though they were painted by hand—yet still preserve lifelike detail. The final files will be published across several brand social-media channels, so they must look polished, consistent, and unmistakably professional.
Here’s what working together will look like:
• You’ll receive a batch of high-resolution portraits (RAW or high-quality JPEG/TIFF).
• Using Photoshop, Lightroom, or comparable software, you’ll layer in brush-stroke textures, nuanced colour shifts, and lighting tweaks that evoke a realistic, painterly style without drifting into heavy abstraction.
• We’ll review sample references and mood boards up front; I’ll provide clear visual examples so we can agree on the exact balance between “photo” and “painting.”
• Turnaround on each batch will be mutually scheduled, and I expect reliable delivery on the agreed dates.
• All files must stay print-ready (300 dpi, full-colour), even though their primary destination is social media.
Acceptance criteria for each portrait:
1. Skin tone, facial proportions, and main features remain recognisably true to the original photo.
2. Brush-stroke or texture effects appear organic, without visible plugin patterns or filters.
3. No colour banding, artefacts, or over-sharpening at 100 % zoom.
4. Final layered PSD (or equivalent) plus flattened PNG/JPEG supplied.
If your portfolio already shows portraits treated in this manner, include those links first—they’ll fast-track our conversation. Looking forward to seeing how you can merge the precision of a camera with the soul of a canvas.
