Hello, Your portrait looks too dark with a strong orange cast , we will restore natural tones and balanced lighting so the subject pops while keeping skin realistic. We have spent the last 10 years solving exactly this type of problem. Our technical steps: adjust exposure and midtones, recover shadow detail with selective dodging, remove orange color cast via targeted white balance and HSL adjustments, apply subtle local contrast and frequency-separated skin cleanup, and final color grading in Photoshop/Lightroom for consistent, natural results.
