My client wanted a naturally retouched final image. For this series, it was crucial to stay natural, not to take away from the authenticity of the images. As a retouch artist, I do prefer natural retouching. I really like to keep the image approachable, real; to show the true rawness. With that said, this project…
My client had a fun challenging image for me to retouch. It was in the middle of a crazy storm, the model came with dry skin from the dry/cold weather, the makeup artist did not show up due to being snowed in, and they had one day to shoot, so he was in a bit…
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!
This was a fun project. Originally I was requested to do something with this image. My client really didn’t need it, she has enough pretty color head shots, but when she said, do anything you want, I trust you or drop this image, that’s when a light bulb turned on, appropriate since my last name…
Natural retouching is normally essential when retouching males, whether commercial, beauty or fashion. My client needed their client retouched naturally for their promotional/press images. I added a little pop to the image, while keeping it natural, real and approachable.
This was a challenging, but fun assignment. I was giving images to pick from to retouch and create a beauty story. So, finding two strong images that complement each other is first and foremost. That’s what creates the story making process. Then to take already gorgeous pictures and retouch them to make them even more…
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…
When I received this image, I thought it was darn gorgeous, but something about it was not hitting right, plus the way it was already cropped left me limited in my crop. So I felt cropping it in tight and off to the side really brought out her gorgeous features and also gave it mystery,…
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!
This project was a combination of wedding and fashion. Natural retouching, color correcting and some background modifications made this wedding editorial work beautifully.
Flawless retouching in a natural way is my expertise. This model is just dang beautiful and the photographer knows his thang! The smallest of changes can make the largest of difference. It’s all about your the eye for beauty. Anyone can make an image perfect, but perfection doesn’t mean the image is more aesthetically pleasing…
This was a fun project. My client needed images retouched for their product line. Already a great body to begin with, it needed some skin color/tone change and fun high/low lights to bring out a more marketable image.
I loved this project. I knew what it needed to go from Kunk Poa to Kung WOW! This shot was not the best angle and lighting for this model, but this was the best image for this particular project. I know the after is far away from the original, but it doesn’t matter in this…
This was a simple request from my client…natural retouching to enhance what the model already has. Some slight body contouring, natural skin retouching, slight color correcting and other simple, but essential changes; this image works beautifully.
