High-End Automotive Photo Retouch (Studio Look from Outdoor Photo) – For Acrylic Print
Budget: $40 – $65 USD
I am looking for a specialized automotive photo retoucher to transform an outdoor car photograph into a studio-grade, high-end visual, suitable for acrylic / gallery print (20×30 cm).
This is not basic background removal or AI-generated enhancement.
If your work is mainly portraits, weddings, logos, or generic product edits, this project is not a good fit.
Project Goal
Take a real outdoor car photo and recreate a controlled studio lighting look, similar to high-end automotive press or CGI-style studio photography, while keeping the car fully photorealistic.
Required Skills (Must-Have)
Proven automotive retouching experience (cars, not people or logos)
Advanced masking (windows, mirrors, wheels, panel gaps – no halos)
Re-lighting: reducing harsh sunlight, rebuilding controlled studio highlights
Shadow creation: realistic contact shadow under the car (not blurred or fake)
Reflection & highlight control (paint must look premium, not plastic)
Clean gradients suitable for acrylic print (no banding, artifacts, or AI noise)
Deliverables
Layered PSD (clean structure)
16-bit TIFF, print-ready
Transparent PNG (car + shadow)
Color-managed export suitable for acrylic printing
Technical Specs
Final size: 20×30 cm
300 DPI (or higher native resolution)
No upscaling artifacts
No AI-generated textures or lighting
Reference images and the original, unedited car photo are attached. Please confirm you’ve reviewed them before applying..
