For this project, natural retouching was necessary for the look and feel my client needed. It’s more fun to retouch naturally, because it’s definitely more challenging keeping the skin as real as possibly, while subtly fixing small changes here and there, whether skin, lighting, features, etc. My clients use my services because I am a…
My client sent me a beautiful image that needed just enough retouching to make this image pop. The lighting, model, makeup, styling was all great. 40 minutes later, the image pops and made the cover of Senior Mode’s Feb issue!
RA is not always short for Retouch Artist or Raichle, it sometimes means Rescue Artist. My client had a fun, yet challenging project. Make this image pop! I cropped the heck out of this image, took away half of the model’s body and a few accessories (stuff that wasn’t needed and only taking away from…
This was a simple, yet fun project. The location for this particular shot was not ideal, so by simply adding a more city type background, cropping in tighter, natural retouching and slightly desaturated look made for a perfect feel for this page.
This was a fun project. The photographer wanted me to clean the image up and just make it pop. Well, I think it is popping now! Small changes/tweaks, natural retouching, hint of color correcting, move the moon and this baby is hot hot hot. This is a money making image for all talent involved!
Retouching in the fashion industry is right up my alley, being that I am a retired fashion model. I may not be modeling for magazines anymore, it’s just as nice to see my work published in magazines!
Retouching males can be a bit tricky. You really need to keep the feeling natural and masculine. Retouching too much can completely alter what the photographer or client intended for the image. I actually almost prefer retouching men, something about keeping it raw, yet almost flawless is so fun and challenging. Altering certain features can…
This image only needed a little tweaking with the coloring, retouching and cropping. Just fine adjustments can make a world of a difference.
Here is a retouching project for a catalog cover. My client needed natural retouching, color correcting, adding sides and rotating. Retouching men should never be overdone, it will take away from what the company is trying to sell if a consumer noticed how polished a man looks.
This image was a bit blown out. My client needed it for the cover of their catalog. Some natural retouching and color correcting helped this image become a rich, popping cover.
Besides being a freelance photo retoucher, I also like to help my client select their strongest images, give them ideas for their project and rescue any image or photo shoot they feel was not salvageable. I have the ability to see potential in images that most professionals cannot see. Whether retouching the right areas, interesting…
My client, who’s a high-end Fashion & Beauty Photographer, just shot for a big east coast magazine. The images turned out beautiful on their own, but like all images, retouching always needs to be done, it’s inevitable, but what’s imperative to my client is natural retouching to keep the integrity of the photograph. It’s easy…
This was a fun project. My new client had no idea what to do at the point she contacted me. She didn’t know if she needed a graphic artist, retoucher, printer to get her snapshots of her clothing line to a completed look book. Besides retouching, I am very strong with selecting the strongest images,…
Love me some challenges! Here is a prime example of a typical challenge clients experience during image selection. They cannot find or decide on the right image, so they give me a stab at it, hoping I can see something they can’t. Which I usually do. 😉 My clients have faith in my ability to…
I am known for retouching very naturally, it’s all about seeing a hint of fine lines, skin texture, leaving the subjects “real”, but on occasion, a client wants a tad more. A bit more mannequin feeling and this project is a good example of it. Though it’s still on the “natural” side, it’s got an…
