Portrait Retouching for Social Media

I have a set of portraits that need to look their best online while still feeling authentic. The brief is straightforward: keep the style natural and clean, smooth skin without creating a plastic effect, remove any small blemishes, even out color, enhance sharpness, and blur the background just enough so the subject stands out.

You’ll be working with high-resolution files and I’m expecting equally high-resolution JPEGs back, optimized for platforms like Instagram and Facebook. Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom are the usual go-to tools for this kind of work, so please be comfortable in at least one of them.

Turnaround time matters—I’m looking for quick delivery without compromising the fine details such as texture, stray hairs, and edge halos. These images are a big part of my brand’s first impression online, so precision is key.

Deliverables:
• Fully retouched, background-blurred portraits in high-res JPEG
• Consistent color and exposure across all images
• Ready-to-post files returned by the agreed deadline

If your portfolio shows similar before-and-after results and you’re confident you can maintain a natural look while elevating each image, I’d love to hear from you.
