Subtle Portfolio Photo Retouching

I have a set of 30 personal photographs that I’m preparing for my professional portfolio and I need each one polished so they look timeless, clean, and refined—never over-processed. Natural skin texture has to stay intact, so any retouching must be subtle: removing minor blemishes, evening tones, and gently smoothing without erasing pores or realistic details.

Beyond the skin work, please run a careful color grade that balances brightness, contrast, and white balance, keeping authentic tones throughout the series. Backgrounds generally work as-is, yet the occasional stray object or distraction will need a tidy clean-up rather than a blur or full replacement. When sharpening, keep the final image crisp and detailed without tipping into halos or noise.

AI-assisted tools are welcome if they help maintain consistency across all 30 files. Just be sure the final look remains cohesive from shot to shot.

Deliverables
• 30 retouched images delivered in high-resolution JPEG (and/or PNG if you prefer)
• Consistent, classic style applied to the full set
• All edits layered or reversible where possible, so future tweaks remain easy

Please include a brief note on your typical workflow and a sample of similar portrait edits so I can gauge fit. Looking forward to seeing your approach.
