I shoot a lot of in-game action and candid moments during my basketball season and I want those shots to pop on Instagram. Every photo will need its busy gym background removed and replaced with a clean, solid colour that matches the uniform I’m wearing in that specific game. When I’m in the white-and-blue kit, for example, you’ll drop in the exact white or blue; when it’s the alternate colours, you’ll switch accordingly. I can supply reference photos or hex codes for each uniform set so the tones stay consistent across the feed. Beyond the background swap, please tidy up lighting, exposure, and any distracting elements so each image looks polished and ready for posting. Final files should be delivered in high-resolution JPEG (for archiving) and 1:1 or 4:5 crops optimised for Instagram. Acceptance criteria: • Background completely removed and replaced with the correct solid team colour for that game • Colours accurately match the uniform shown in the photo • Skin tones stay natural after colour work and retouching • Images exported at 3000px on the long edge (JPEG, sRGB) plus Instagram-ready crops I’ll drop new batches after every game, so reliability and quick turnaround are important. If you have a portfolio with similar sports edits, send a couple of examples so I can see your style before we kick off.

The key here is not just removing a gym background, but making each basketball shot feel consistent across your feed while keeping skin tones natural and the uniform colours exact. I’d handle this with clean subject masking, careful color replacement from your reference hex codes, and final exports prepared separately for archive and Instagram crops. I’ve worked on image cleanup and social-ready edits where the difference is in the finishing: edge quality around players, believable color work, and keeping the image sharp after cropping. Sports photos especially need controlled exposure and distraction cleanup so the action stays the focus instead of the gym clutter. If helpful, I can also set up a repeatable editing look so each new game batch stays visually consistent. - Roughly how many photos are in a typical batch after each game? - Do you want the same solid background tone across a full batch, or matched per individual image/uniform variation? - Would you like the first batch done as a small test set before ongoing work?

Your feed will only look strong if the cutouts are clean, the replacement color truly matches each kit, and the retouching doesn’t make players look overprocessed. I’d focus on precise background removal, uniform-based color matching, balanced exposure, and polished exports in both full-resolution and Instagram-ready ratios. I’ve handled social media image editing where consistency matters as much as the individual photo. For sports shots, the usual weak points are messy edges, color spill, and unnatural skin after adjustment, so I pay close attention to masking accuracy and restrained color correction rather than heavy filters. A simple style guide from your reference shots can make future batches faster and more uniform. - How many images do you usually want edited per game? - Will you be sending hex codes for every uniform set, or should I sample the tones directly from the photos? - Do you prefer mostly 1:1 crops, mostly 4:5, or both for every image?
