Instagram-Ready Trip Photo Curation
Budget: £20 – £250 GBP
Here is the full brief with the Instagram links included.
***
I have two holiday folders, one from Thailand and one from Madrid, and I need someone to go through both, pick the strongest shots and lightly edit them to match the cool, muted and cinematic aesthetic of my Instagram feed.
**The aesthetic I am going for** is dark, cinematic and minimal. Think deep shadows, cool blue and teal tones in the colour grade, low saturation, clean composition and high contrast without anything looking over processed. Reference accounts that capture this look are instagram.com/jacknormaan, instagram.com/kathaannnn and instagram.com/blvck.sam. I will also attach two screenshots from my own grid so you can see exactly where I am at.
The job is two steps.
**Step 1, Curate.** Go through both folders separately. The majority of selected photos will go on my Instagram Stories, so I need a generous selection from each trip edited and ready for that format. On top of that, I need you to flag your single best recommendation from Thailand and your single best from Madrid that you think are genuinely strong enough to go on my main grid. Be honest, if nothing stands out as grid worthy just say so and I will make that call myself.
**Step 2, Edit.** Apply a light, cohesive grade across all selected images. Cool shadows, lowered saturation, subtle contrast, gentle white balance adjustments leaning cool. Nothing heavy. Everything should feel consistent and natural. Stories edits can be slightly looser, but the two potential grid shots need to feel polished and on brand.
Deliver everything as Instagram ready JPEGs in a clean organised folder, split by trip and with the two potential grid shots clearly labelled separately. If you work in Lightroom and want to include edited originals too, great but not essential.
Before I confirm, please share two or three examples of past edits that show a similar cool, muted or cinematic style. Also let me know your expected turnaround.
