From Start to Finish – Photo Producing

Teen fall fashion story. I started with creating the concept, hired all talent, (make-up, hair, stylist, model) art directed, selected the strongest images and of course, finished with my retouching skills. When I booked the model, the photographer was nervous about it, but I knew I had a gem and she did shine! Whether I’m…

Headshot Retouching – Commercial headshots

My client needed natural retouching for his commercial headshots. It’s extremely important headshot retouching is natural. Casting Directors and their clients want to know what the model/actress looks like before requesting for an audition. It does not do the actor/model, agent, director or client any good when a headshot is not true to life.

Editorial Retouching – Fashion Retoucher

As a Fashion Retoucher, this order was extremely fun and satisfying. Great photographer, model, makeup/hair, styling and concept…just needed a bit edge to make it all come together. Converting to B&W, natural retouching, adding some grain, contrast and sharpening, this story turned out amazing!

Fashion Retouchers – Editorial Retouching

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…

It was so overly retouched, I couldn’t concentrate on the movie, just the overly airbrushed faces, though it was a bad movie to begin with. “Email…

Beauty Retouch Artist – Beauty Photo Retouching

I would not consider myself or technique, technical, more like artistic. I’ve been drawing, painting, building, you name it since I was a tot. I remember being inspired by magazine covers, sketching in my bedroom for hours, creating what I thought was a beautiful woman, with a hint of asymmetrical features, gorgeous bone structure and…

Beauty Photo Retouching a Beautiful Image

My client always shoots with beautiful lighting, makeup/hair and models. Sometimes beauty photo retouching is an even bigger challenge to retouch when the image is already so beautiful. The image’s bar is already set so high, so it’s all about subtle and natural retouching that will make the image pop and give it that oomph it needs!

Natural Beauty Retouching

My client wanted retouching, with flawless makeup and skin, yet keep the image as natural as can be, with a popping effect. Well, the model was gorgeous, the makeup was awesome and the photography was great, with all that said, no image is perfect and almost every image needs retouching. When looking at the retouched…

Photo Retouching Naturally

This was a fun project, not to mention, right up my alley. I love, let me repeat, love retouching naturally. My client had a large order for me to retouch for a client of theirs. We both agreed natural retouching was the way to go. It actually is more challenging and more skills are involved…
