Looking for an experienced photo editor preferably with experience with food photography to edit 80 - 90 photos I am creating a cookbook (in aid of breast cancer charities) and I am looking for someone to do some editing work on the photos I have taken of the dishes to be included in the book which I will be getting printed professionally. I want the photos to look professional, consistent and stylish. I am happy with the composition and content of the photos, what I want is the following: - preserve the original photograph and composition exactly - improve the lighting, exposure, colour, contrast and subtle sharpness - correct any glare or reflections in the dishes - strong attention to detail and consistency - keep the photos looking natural and real - these dishes were cooked in my home kitchen and I want them to retain the home cooked feel so that they are achievable for the readers. - preserve the original image dimensions and produce the highest possible resolution suitable for professional print - the style of the book is mid century with repeating patterns used in chapter intro pages so I want the look and feel of the photos to reflect that - warm, earthy tones, soft and slightly darker lighting (ie NOT light and bright with a white background style) Please send examples of your photo editing work along with your rate for 80 - 90 photos.

Hello, Your cookbook needs more than basic correction, it needs a consistent visual language that preserves the warmth and realism of home-cooked food. I can refine all 80-90 images while keeping each original composition and dimension intact, carefully balancing exposure, colour, contrast, and subtle sharpness. I’ll also reduce distracting glare and reflections without making the dishes look artificial, then develop a cohesive mid-century treatment with warm earthy tones and soft, slightly darker lighting. I’ll work consistently across the full set and prepare the highest-resolution files suitable for professional printing, while preserving the approachable character that makes the recipes feel achievable. I can provide relevant food photo editing examples and would be happy to begin with a small sample selection so you can approve the direction before the complete batch. The breast cancer charity purpose makes this a particularly meaningful project, and I’d be pleased to help give the cookbook a polished, heartfelt finish. Could you share a few representative images and any printer specifications so I can establish the warm mid-century editing style accurately from the start? Best regards, MUHAMMAD

Hi there, I have read and understood the project details. You need 80–90 food photographs professionally edited for a printed cookbook, while preserving the original composition and dimensions. The goal is a consistent, natural look with warm earthy tones, softer slightly darker lighting, and a mid-century feel rather than the typical bright food-photography style. I’ll work carefully in Photoshop and Lightroom to refine exposure, white balance, colour, contrast, highlights, shadows, subtle sharpness, and unwanted glare or reflections. I’ll create a consistent editing approach across the complete collection while keeping the food realistic and retaining the genuine home-cooked character of each dish. I’ll also prepare the final files at the original dimensions and highest practical resolution for professional printing. Would you like the entire collection to follow one consistent colour grade, or should I allow slight adjustments between different dishes while maintaining the overall mid-century aesthetic? ✅ PORTFOLIO: https://www.freelancer.com/u/AneesaIBA?w=f&ngsw-bypass= Send me the sample images and any printer specifications you have, and I can confirm the final workflow, turnaround, and milestones. Cheers, Rabia Shaikh

You need 80–90 food photos refined for professional cookbook printing while preserving the original composition and keeping the dishes natural, achievable, and true to the home-cooked feel. The editing can focus on consistent exposure, warm earthy colour, gentle contrast, subtle sharpening, glare and reflection correction, and careful tonal balancing across the full set. The mid-century direction can be supported through slightly darker, warmer treatment without pushing the images into an artificial or overly stylised look. Final delivery can preserve the original dimensions and highest practical resolution for print, with consistency checked across the entire book rather than treating each image in isolation.
