Realistic Cinematic Child Portrait
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I need a single, high-resolution portrait of a child (0-12 years) that feels both realistic and cinematic. The image should capture a gentle, slightly smiling expression, with warm skin tones, clear eyes, and soft natural lighting that wraps smoothly around the face. A subtle background blur or bokeh is important to draw attention to the subject’s features without distracting details.
I’m flexible on whether we shoot indoors or outdoors, as long as the lighting looks authentically natural and matches a modern portrait-photography aesthetic. Please work in a way that preserves fine detail—think magazine-quality JPEG or TIFF at full resolution—and keeps colours true to life.
Deliverables
• Final retouched portrait in high-res JPEG (and TIFF if available)
• Colour-corrected, print-ready file at native resolution
• Optional: lightly edited RAW or layered PSD so I can make minor tweaks later
Acceptance criteria
• Skin tones stay warm and realistic, no plastic-skin look
• Eyes remain sharp and expressive without over-whitening
• Background blur is smooth, not artificially harsh
• Overall image carries a cinematic, contemporary feel suitable for large prints and online use
Feel free to suggest creative lighting angles, lens choices, or post-processing techniques that will enhance the softness and charm I’m after. I look forward to seeing how you bring this young subject’s personality to life.
