About this gig
Elevate your imagery with industry-standard professional retouching.
A photograph is made in the camera, but it is perfected in the edit. Are you a commercial photographer, a brand, or an individual seeking editorial-quality results, I provide the technical precision and artistic eye needed to make your visuals stand out.
Unlike standard editors, I utilize a high-end workflow combining Capture One Pro for unmatched RAW color science and Adobe Photoshop for meticulous, non-destructive retouching.
My Signature Workflow Includes:
- RAW Conversion (Capture One): Utilizing superior color depth to ensure perfect skin tones.
- High-End Retouching (Photoshop): Advanced Frequency Separation and Dodge & Burn to remove imperfections while keeping 100% of the natural skin texture.
- Professional Color Grading: Custom color styling to create a cinematic mood.
- Corrective Editing: Global adjustments, stray hair removal, and clothing cleanup.
- Background Optimization: Cleaning or replacing backgrounds to ensure your subject remains the hero.
