Yes, I retouch not just for the beauty/fashion industry, but for all industries and for all people.
My passion is retouching and giving my client top quality work at reasonable prices.
I am not only a retouch artist; I also bring 15 years of modeling experience to help unlock the hidden potential inside every photograph. My knowledge of modeling, makeup and photography, enables me to see what is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, understand correct composition and cropping, know what looks natural and how to enhance an image, giving it a naturally polished look.
It is awesome to hear my client's stories of campaigns they have booked, castings they were requested for, buyers who bought their collection, record labels who contacted them, all from the images they invested in my retouching and/or post art-directing.
Yes, I offer post-art directing and consulting.
Certain clients need their images to have a theme or concept, to flow, to stand out; I consult and create the perfect design for their images so they get the most out of each photo shoot.
I offer free consulting for your order, if you would like further consulting for your portfolio or your career, there is a reasonable fee for that service.

If the images are from the same shoot with similar lighting and angles, I can take the best from each image and make it into one amazing final image!
Many labs have a digital department. Because my monitor is calibrated to a local lab's digital printer, your images will come out their best. Please advise if you would like my lab to make your prints. The lab will directly contact you for additional printing and shipping fees.
That is fine, just make a note on the release and your before/after image will not be used to show my work.
