Job description

Role overview

This contract opportunity is suited to a photo retoucher who can produce clean, editorial-style edits for professional headshots, with a particular focus on the real estate industry. The assignment covers a batch of 268 images and calls for careful image selection plus refined retouching that keeps the result realistic and polished. The final files will be used across websites, property listings, and business cards, so a consistent, high-end finish is important. A strong portfolio showing work on darker skin tones and an ability to keep edits subtle and authentic are key.

Responsibilities

  • Review 268 headshot images and choose the strongest frames for final use
  • Retouch skin gently by reducing acne, blemishes, and scars while keeping natural texture intact
  • Replace backgrounds with a clean white backdrop for a uniform, professional presentation
  • Apply warm color correction and grading to improve the overall look of the images
  • Remove loose hairs and small distractions without changing facial features or body shape
  • Keep every edit natural, avoiding heavy smoothing, strong color changes, or reshaping
  • Provide high-resolution, print-ready final images suitable for web, listings, and business cards

Requirements

  • Demonstrated experience retouching editorial or corporate headshots, especially natural-looking work on darker skin tones
  • Advanced command of Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, or similar retouching tools
  • Solid knowledge of color correction, skin tone balancing, and non-destructive workflow methods
  • Capability to maintain the same quality across a large set of images
  • Sharp attention to detail and a strong focus on preserving authenticity
  • Background in real estate photography or branding photography will be an advantage
  • Dependable, deadline-conscious, and open to incorporating feedback
