Description
There is a story behind the picture, so if you are interested in working with me, I will provide more information. I need 5 different interpretations, and I will pay £15 each one. I know it's not a lot of money, but it's for a show - and I'm self funding it. This is one piece for the exhibition.

15 pounds could pay only 1 work hour. This is a very difficult project, it needs digital painting. At least some 6 - 8 effective work time. All the image is destroyed. Check again your budget and maybe it will be done.
Rhiannon A.13 Feb 2018Yes I know, I'm actually a photographer myself and do all my own retouching. The idea is not that I can't do this project myself, it's because it's a creative project about interpretation, there isn't a correct answer. I'm not looking for accuracy as it's impossible to know what the picture would look like....
Florin S.13 Feb 2018Hi, thank you for taking your time and answer.
There was a time when I was completely dedicated to the old destroyed pictures. And I was pretty good. Here some samples:

But I let it down because the illustration design, what I'm doing now, brings much more benefits than retouch. I understand your point of view, cannot spend too much for this concept. Should be many work hours and not a good deal for you.
Nice to meet you and wish you a lot of success.
Have a great day,
Florin

do have another pic of the persons face. you can see we cant see any face at all
Rhiannon A.13 Feb 2018Yes I'm aware, that is the point of the project - to imagine what she might look like. She is a girl aged 12-13 and I have pictures of her family but no, this is the only picture. There is a long story about why I want this done... she was very very badly sexually abused by members of her family, and her speaking out started high profile abuse trials where she is from. My project is about the place that she came from so I am trying to give her a presence in the exhibition. The original destroyed picture will be exhibited and I'm hoping to show it alongside some imaginary representations of how she may look...
Jonathan E.13 Feb 2018alright well then the project would require just a match to the ear . every retoucher wll do the smae and then just paint and clear upthe watermark. just finding the right match thats royalty free.

I can recommend finding a freelancer who can draw portraits. Add additional photo to this woman and increase your budget. To get a professional result you need really great drawing artist and a serious budget. This isn't an hour work. All the best.
Rhiannon A.13 Feb 2018Yes I'm aware, that is the point of the project - to imagine what she might look like. The point is that this is not meant to be accurate... She is a girl aged 12-13 and I have pictures of her family but this is the only picture. There is a long story about why I want this done... she was very very badly sexually abused by members of her family, and her speaking out started high profile abuse trials where she is from. My project is about the place that she came from so I am trying to give her a presence in the exhibition. The original destroyed picture will be exhibited and I'm hoping to show it alongside some imaginary representations of how she may look... her image is destroyed because the people around her were embarrassed and disowned her, so all record was destroyed. I am trying to use this as a way to give her a face again.... it's not meant to be accurate, it's meant to exist for a more philosophical reason. It's a very small part of the show and if I can't do it for that budget, I just won't do it. I'm an artist so in the end I'm deciding what elements are affordable in the show and what is not. Because of the dark subject matter of the show I am unlikely to sell any of the work, but I feel its an important story. But that is why the budget is set as it is...
Andrew D.13 Feb 2018Thank you for the opened answer. Hope there are some artists who can help you with this one.

If I did several different "restorations" would you pay for each one?
Rhiannon A.13 Feb 2018I only want one from each person...
Pantelis P.13 Feb 2018I'm guessing that we're possibly singing from a similar song sheet. I had imagined a few interpretive images. while it sounds like 'real' retouchers feel the need to give you a traditional face. I, like them, given enough time, could create a passable face but that wasn't what I had in mind. And that was the reason I would have liked to create more than one picture.
Here's an old idea of mine:

Let me know if you'd like me on board?
Yours,
