Cake Photo Editor Needed

Photo Editor Needed to Professionally Edit Cake Portfolio Photos I’m looking for a skilled photo editor/retoucher to edit my existing collection of custom cake photos for my cake brand, Avant Garde Cakes. I have a backlog of cake photos that were taken in different environments, lighting conditions, and backgrounds. I want them edited into a clean, polished, cohesive portfolio that I can use across my website, Facebook, Instagram, Google Business profile, and marketing materials. What I Need Edited For each cake photo, editing may include: Lighting and exposure correction White balance and color correction Making buttercream colors accurate and visually appealing Background cleanup Removing clutter or distracting objects Removing crumbs, smudges, boards showing awkwardly, etc. Straightening and cropping Improving sharpness and clarity Minor cake cleanup/retouching when necessary Creating a consistent look across photos taken at different times and locations Preparing final images for web and social media VERY IMPORTANT The cakes still need to look real. I do not want the cakes heavily altered, AI-generated, overly smoothed, or edited to the point that the final photo doesn't accurately represent my work. The goal is to make the photography look professional, not redesign the cake. Style I'm Looking For My cakes are bold, artistic, colorful, and sometimes unconventional. I want the photography to feel: Clean • Editorial • High-End • Artistic • Bright • Professional Think professional bakery/food photography rather than heavily filtered social media photos. Initial Project The first project will be editing my existing backlog of cake photos. If we work well together, there will be an opportunity for ongoing work as I complete new cakes.
