Help with improving photos

[censura]

Hi!

I am very new to photo retouching and I just found this great forum.
I have some photos that I want to improve with some "beauty retouching".
Since I am no expert myself I want to hire an expert for the job.

What I want to improve is basically this:
* Make the person on the photos (a male) as good looking as possible, without making it look unatural. A normal person should not be able to see that the picture is altered!
* Perhaps the retoucher could change skin tone, improve hairline etc.
* Correct one of the eyelids which is a bit more droopy than the other
* Perhaps also changing background on some photos

How do I find the right person to help me with this?
Any idea what I will need to pay for this per picture?
Any other tips?
I am not using the photos for professional use (lika a magazine etc) but just for private use.

Thank you very much guys!

Short of a personal recommendation you may get lucky doing a Google search for Photo retouching services or have a look at the Classifieds on this site to see if you can find a local service.

IMO these should be located in your country of residence and ideally located close to you. So should you ever have need to complain the local laws and legislation will apply.

Prices will depend on the amount of work and local rates and should be available in a specific quote from the company you are interested in.

As these are for private use have you any software that you could use and perhaps try or learn to DIY?

Thank you for your reply!

Perhaps a member on the forum would like to help with this otherwise?
I will pay of course. Please PM me in that case.
