Photo Editor (Lifestyle & Food Photography) for Website & Instagram

I'm looking for a photo editor to help with post-production for my food and lifestyle content. I will provide the original images, along with clear editing guidelines, reference photos, and examples of the aesthetic I'm aiming for. The goal is to create a cohesive, elevated visual identity across my website and Instagram. This is not about heavy retouching or dramatic edits, it's about bringing consistency, warmth, and polish to every image while maintaining a natural look. Responsibilities: Edit iPhone or high-resolution images according to a defined visual style. Match a consistent aesthetic across batches of photos. Adjust exposure, white balance, color, contrast, tones, cropping, and composition as needed. Make subtle retouching adjustments while keeping images realistic. Deliver web-ready, high-quality files within agreed timelines. What I'm Looking For Strong portfolio showcasing food, lifestyle, or editorial photography. Excellent understanding of color grading and visual storytelling. Ability to closely follow creative direction and replicate a consistent editing style. Attention to detail and a good eye for mood, lighting, and composition. Experience with Adobe Lightroom and/or Photoshop. Reliable communication and willingness to incorporate feedback. Nice to Have Experience editing content for recipe blogs, food brands, or creators. Familiarity with creating cohesive Instagram feeds or website imagery. To apply, please include: A link to your portfolio (especially food or lifestyle work). A brief description of your editing process. Your typical turnaround time. Your pricing (per image or per batch). This has the potential to become a long-term collaboration if we're a good fit. Moving forward, I will be shooting all the content with a DSLR so RAW images will be provided once this archive is sorted. I'm looking for someone who can become familiar with my brand aesthetic and help maintain a consistent look across all of my content.
