PHOTO TOUCHUP - ONE STEP FURTHER IN PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY
Wanting to look good in a photograph is normal...
It may be harshly bright—not always good for photos. It might be crazy windy. You might be experiencing a skin breakout, unflattering sunburn marks, recent weight gain. Sometimes even stress can make you look not as great as you were not so long ago. My professional photography packages includes photo touch up. I ensure that all faces are light balanced. I lift shadows to help you look fresher, less tired, and I'll lessen some wrinkles, so you might even look slightly younger. I'll even tidy your hair, if necessary. I do not use AI automations for touch up. I do all enhancements by hand so that the beautification maintains believability. After all, you do not want your photos to look photoshopped. Painstaking, seamless photo touch-up by a long time professional photographer is included on all photo packages.
Note: the elements have to exist for me to fix it, meaning I won't place someone else's eyes on your face.
Modest photo touchup
I don't do snapshots (click the camera button and deliver). I craft creative photos to hang on your wall and place in photo albums. I do finesse adjustments to every photograph, not by using a universal one click, but by employing painstaking, time-consuming masking methods to all areas of the photograph, the same way an artist does with a brush on canvas. I work on...
- Background enhancement/ matte painting
- Photo blending: using parts of another photo into the prime
- Shading on a person's face (beautification)
- Eye widening, shading
- Hot spot (brightness) tempering.
- Skin smoothing, pimple reduction.
- Minor fixes on constantly closed eyes
- Wardrobe malfunction fix, if necessary
- Fixing distracted, unengaged face, when possible
A huge difference between "Before" and "After "
Photo touch up goes beyond regular editing in which the editor/photographer only...
- Crops, adjusts horizons
- Makes universal 1-click shadow enhancements
- Makes 1-click light adjustments.
- Some photographers will remove beach clutter.
- And that's it!
Photo touch makes a huge difference
A creative art - photo touch up
- For a 1-hour session, up to 9 people, with regular photo editing the studio time is 2-3 hours.
- For a 1-hour photoshoot with a family up to 9 people, with photo touch included, I typically spend 6-9 hours in studio time.
- I strive to give my clients photo selection choices, so I'll always edit more photos than in the package. When clients choose to purchase those extra photos—thank you, sincerely thank you—I appreciate being rewarded for the additional photo touch-up editing time.
