I have a batch of senior-portrait images that suffer from dull lighting, flat colour and backgrounds that feel lifeless. The poses and expressions are good—I simply made some poor in-camera choices—so what I need is a careful retouch that brings everything up to classic senior-portrait standards. Here is what I’m after: • Correct the lighting so the subject reads clean and evenly lit, with natural-looking highlights and shadows. • Restore accurate, pleasing colour balance; skin tones should look healthy, not muddy or orange. • Make the background feel more polished—subtle depth and gentle vibrancy—without veering into anything dramatic or artificial. The end result should look like those timeless yearbook photos we all know: crisp, well-lit and quietly refined, not overly stylised. I can send you a small set of reference images from another shoot I did this year that perfectly match the look I want. You’re free to work in Photoshop, Lightroom, Capture One—whatever tool lets you keep detail and avoid halos or over-smoothing. Please return full-resolution JPEGs (and layered PSDs if possible) ready for print and digital. If this sounds like your kind of project, let me know how many finished files you’re comfortable delivering per hour or per milestone so we can plan the hand-off.
