About the service
I am a professional retoucher and I build portfolios that work for castings and producers, not just pretty pictures. My focus is portraiture — the faces of models, actors, musicians and dancers. I have handled hundreds of shoots and I know exactly where grooming ends and plastic begins, so I keep living texture rather than a glossy mask.
Here is what the work covers. Skin: I remove temporary blemishes, redness and creases, even out the tone with frequency separation, and keep the pores and natural relief intact. Colour: I set the flesh tones against your reference, correct the white balance, clear stray reflections from clothing and background, and bring the image to a clean but never dead colour. Shape: I gently fix flyaway strands, fabric folds and frame geometry, and on request apply soft liquify that never distorts real proportions.
The main reason people hire me for a portfolio is a consistent series style. Individually edited frames look like they came from different shoots; I hold one signature of contrast, saturation and skin character across every image so the folder reads as one coherent body of work.
How I work. I take ten to twenty frames, send one free test shot, and then continue in the agreed style. I deliver full resolution for print and lighter versions for the web, plus layered files when you need them. Reasonable revisions are included. Five days is enough for me to build a careful series without rushing. Write to me and we will discuss references and volume.
