looking for a photo editor - 15/11/2025 04:08 EST
Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR
I'm hosting a photo editing contest and looking for a talented photo editor/retoucher who can transform a couple's portrait into a high-end, realistic zombie-themed image while keeping it professional, cinematic, and polished.
What I Want Done
You'll be working with one photo of a girl and a guy together. Your job is to:
• Turn both subjects into zombies while keeping them realistic and detailed
• Girl:
• Give her a cute but liminal and unsettling zombie look
• Makeup should be more cute than terrifying, but still eerie and slightly scary
• Think "pretty undead" with subtle horror vibes
• Guy:
• Give him a cool, awesome, cinematic zombie look
• He should look scary, powerful, and liminal, with strong character and presence
• Overall Image Treatment:
• Apply a dark, gothic, cinematic color grade
• Make sure the image is gamma-corrected and well-balanced
• Maintain or improve the overall quality and sharpness of the image
• Avoid cheap-looking filters - this should look like a high-end movie poster or professional campaign image
Devices & Display
• The final image will be displayed online across computers, laptops, phones, and tablets, so:
• It must look good and consistent on different screen sizes and aspect ratios
• No details that only work on a huge monitor but fall apart on a phone
AI & Stock Usage
• I prefer as little AI-generated content as possible.
• I also want as little obvious stock imagery as possible.
• If you need to use AI or stock elements, only use them if they blend in seamlessly and are not noticeable as AI/stock.
• The final result should look like a carefully edited photo, not like an AI prompt or a collage of stock parts.
Style & Quality
• The final image should feel like a cinematic still from a dark gothic film
• Realism is key - the more realistic the zombie transformations look, the better
• Skin texture, lighting, shadows, and color harmony should all feel natural and consistent with the original photo
• No cartoonish, low-res, or over-processed looks
The winner will be selected based on:
1. Realism of the zombie transformations
2. Professionalism of the retouching and color grading
3. How well the cute/scary balance is achieved for the girl
4. How cinematic, dark, and gothic the overall image feels
5. How good it looks across devices (computer, phone, tablet)
6. How natural it looks (no obvious AI or stock elements)
7. Preservation or enhancement of overall image quality
The most realistic, professional-looking zombie photo that matches the brief will win the contest.
