Retouching for Photographers


Photographers often seek retouchers to achieve a flawless result that aligns with their vision and style.


Key Features:

1. Preserving the artistic style: Photographers value retouching that enhances their creative ideas without altering their unique style.

2. Attention to detail: Every element, from skin texture to lighting and color transitions, needs to be carefully refined.

3. Versatile tasks: Photographers work in various genres, including portraits, landscapes, and product photography, requiring flexibility in retouching.

Retouching for Brands


For brands, retouching is a way to create professional visuals that reflect their image and marketing goals.


Key Features:

2. Focus on the product: The product is the star of the image, whether it’s cosmetics, clothing, or food.

3. High-quality standards: Commercial photography demands flawless attention to detail, textures, and colors.


Examples:

Smoothing wrinkles and enhancing fabric textures for fashion brands.

Brightening and saturating colors for food advertisements.

Adjusting shadows and lighting to highlight product features.

Retouching for Bloggers



Bloggers aim for visual content that sets them apart and engages their social media audience.


Key Features:

1. Natural look: Audiences appreciate authenticity, so retouching should be subtle and preserve the photo’s organic feel.

2. Social media adaptation: Images need to stand out on mobile screens, be vibrant, and grab attention.

3. Personalization: Retouching helps bloggers emphasize their unique style and personality.


Examples:

Soft skin retouching and lighting adjustments for portraits.

Balancing colors and enhancing brightness for lifestyle photos.

Removing distracting elements from the background.

Each group requires a tailored approach to ensure that retouching meets their expectations and goals. Whether you’re a photographer, brand, or blogger, I’m here to adapt the retouching style to your needs and make your photos truly impressive! 😊

 Before and After Among retouchers it's quite a controversial topic to show photos before retouching.  But I want to show you a small part of my work. So you can see how retouching can change a photo. Of course I do this with the permission of the photographer Eric Lamothe! Just look at how the image changes over the course of four frames – isn't that amazing?! In the first frame , you can see the model's clean skin and hair. In the second frame , we have cleaned up the floor, removed the background and smoothed out the plume of the dress a bit. In the third frame , we have replaced the model's arm and added details to the darker parts of the dress. In the fourth and final frame , we have replaced the bottom of the dress and shoes and changed the silhouette a bit. And that's it!
