Beauty is not just about images of women, it’s encompasses anything that is beautiful. I do not just retouch beauty images of women, but also men. In fact, it’s just as fun, if not more, retouching men for beauty shots, because the objective is a tad different and challenging. How to retouch a male, without…
Yes, I also retouch animals, among many other things. How adorable is this picture. I retouched a holiday book, all centered around this dog. It was like she was a professional dog model.
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.
Every client, every photograph and every project is different. Retouching is relative, so communication is key when retouching for my clients.
Skin Retouching naturally can be considered relative for Beauty Retouchers. It’s nice to see skin texture, sometimes even slight flaws for a natural feel, really keeping it real. But every client and every project is different. For this project, though natural retouching was important, it was more about the feeling and glow of the model’s…
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…
Not all skin is the same and they all need different types of retouching to achieve a natural feel. It’s interesting how all the different types of skin complexions usually have their own techniques and tools needed to perfect beautiful and natural retouching. It’s a bit more challenging retouching darker complexions, but I feel I…
Retouching makeup can be fun and challenging. This project was for a hair care company. The model was beautiful, the makeup artist was good and the photographer was talented, but for some odd reason, it didn’t come together well. It was not possible to reshoot, so RA to the rescue! The photographer and client were…
It’s amazing how all retouchers are different. We all have our own artistic talent, like a painter, sketcher, sculpture or designer. Yes, many retouch artists use the same software, like an artist uses brushes, charcoals, pencils, paints or clays, but we all look at images differently and have our own style, flair, experience and expertise….
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…
My client shoots mostly fashion and does a beautiful job. I know he expects high end quality retouching. Perfect the images, while leaving it natural. I love all sorts of challenges and having to retouch an already gorgeous image with beautiful lighting can be a challenge in and of itself. I accomplish what he expects…
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,…
There are a lot of high-end photo retouchers out there, all with different styles, experience, expertise, personalities and rates. I like to think I offer my clients a superb service for reasonable rates. Besides retouching, customer service is another one of my strengths. I am consistently communicating and consulting my clients along the way, from…
