I am looking for a photo editor for a test project with the prospect of regular collaboration on processing tattoo photos for Instagram.
It is necessary not just to process the photos, but to:
review series of raw photos
select the best shots
properly crop the photos for social media
if necessary, create several cropping options for one photo
perform neat professional editing
prepare final photos for publication
What is important to me:
correct cropping of the tattoo
good sense of composition and angle
photos need to be prepared for social media, mainly in proportions of 4:5 / 5:4 depending on composition, angle, and placement of the tattoo
natural and even skin tone
no plastic skin
no excessive retouching
no exaggeration with contrast
competent work with light, shadows, and exposure
black in the tattoo must remain pure black, without green or blue tint in the shadows
redness of a fresh tattoo can be carefully reduced if it looks natural
delicate local correction of glare, overexposures, and individual areas is allowed if they interfere with the perception of the tattoo
in light details of the tattoo, very delicate highlighting of already existing white or light accents is allowed, but without an artificial effect
sometimes it may be necessary to carefully align or locally enhance the background
Export of final photos:
preferably in JPEG format
in quality and size optimal for Instagram
without unnecessary quality loss after uploading to social media
Important clarification:
Deeper processing mainly concerns large tattoos and important projects.
Small tattoos are usually processed faster and simpler:
without excessive retouching
without unnecessary manipulations
without deep local correction, if not needed
For small works, it is important:
clean presentation
correct cropping
basic correction of light, color, and skin tone
neat natural result without overloading with processing
Required skills:
Adobe Photoshop
Lightroom
Camera Raw
experience in professional photo editing
understanding of cropping, composition, color, light, and skin tone
Test task:
I want to start with a small paid test:
review a series of raw photos
select the best shots
cropping
basic professional editing
preparation of photos for publication
