My clients ask me why my rates are less than the average professional photo retoucher (in the USA). The main reason why I offer affordable rates is because I do not factor in my sales and administration in my rates. I charge for just the time I open a file to the time I save the file….
I wish my blog images were larger so you could see the detail. With that said, this was a pretty straight forward request. Natural retouching, with some graininess and contrast. Very subtle changes to the image really did make an overall impact on the feeling and anesthetics.
My client needed this image to pop and posses a different feeling than the original image. With some subtle and natural retouching, color correcting and with a little bit of this and a little bit of that…it’s exactly what the doctor ordered. 😉
My client was updating her modeling portfolio and wanting some natural retouching for several images. Her image just needed a little here and there, but that subtle amount of retouching really makes the image pop and look finished. No distractions. A nice sold image to help get her next booking.
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…
My client wanted their images to look polished, sexy, almost flawless, yet natural. My retouching addressed all those areas.
What most people don’t realize is retouching is also found in videos, commercials, tv and film…it’s everywhere! I just saw the movie, What to expect when you are expecting. 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…
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.
My client needed their swimwear images retouched and color corrected naturally with some pop. A lot of swimwear images whether catalog, magazine or online, are overly retouched and can distract the consumer with how unreal the model looks vs. how great the swimsuit is. When I retouch, my objective is keeping the image free from…
When I had my jewelry company, I knew when I produced my photo shoots, my calling was not a jewelry designer, but photo producing, creating concepts, directing photo shoots, selecting the strongest images, retouching, designing, the whole shebang!
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.
I am just smitten about my new iphone 4. I waited years to get the Verizon iphone and months to get the white iphone and now…I have it! Combined with mobile me, I can go just about anywhere and still stay in contact with my potential and existing clients. Thanks Steve Jobs!
