I’m putting together a small cookbook-style portfolio and want every page to look like it came straight from a gourmet magazine. I already have concepts, plating ideas, and props lined up; what I need now is a freelancer who can help me execute polished, styled-and-staged food shots and then run a quick editorial pass over the short notes that accompany each dish. For the photography, think deliberate lighting, layered textures, and balanced colour palettes that make the food pop without feeling overly processed. We’ll agree on a shoot list together (roughly 20 dishes), and I’ll be on hand to art-direct the compositions. You’ll bring the technical side: camera, lenses, lighting, and a light retouch in Lightroom or Capture One before exporting both high-resolution JPEGs and the RAW files. Once the images are locked, I’ll hand you my draft descriptions—brief narrative notes and recipe snippets, roughly 2,000 words in total. I’m only looking for editing and proofreading, so no heavy rewriting; just tighten the grammar, ensure clarity, and keep the tone consistent. Deliverables • 20–25 high-resolution, styled food photographs (RAW + final JPEGs) • Proofread text for all accompanying notes (returned in Track Changes or Google Docs) Acceptance Criteria • Images are evenly lit, colour-accurate, and free of distracting reflections • Final JPEGs optimised for web-ready usage (2,000 px on the longest edge) • Edited text contains zero spelling or punctuation errors and flows naturally with the visuals If you have portfolio pieces that show similar staged food setups and a sharp editorial eye, I’d love to see them when you bid.
