Samples of advanced retouching techniques on wedding photos
As private photo editors, we encounter completely different requests from our clients. At times, clients' wishes go far beyond just color editing.
There are different ways to improve the quality of a portrait and most editors (including us) suggest the easiest one - "Lightroom soften skin brushes". The main advantages of this method are speed and price. However, this method does not give the necessary quality control, which is crucial for picky photographers. Most of the editors stop at this point but we go further and can offer our clients the highest image quality possible, using the modern approach in such techniques as "dodge-burn" & "frequency separation". This approach to retouching requires a deep experience in the field of editing, an understanding of human anatomy, and a keen sense of dimensions and shadow/light tonal transitions. At the same time, it allows achieving maximum control of image quality.
That's why today we want to show you a few before/afters that demonstrate our level of advanced and deep techniques of portrait photo retouching.

What makes us different is that we are a private boutique of only a few experienced editors who know how to work in the full cycle of post-production, from scratch to the final result, no matter how complicated it may be. We know from our own experience how important it is for a photographer to be able to give his clients uncompromisingly best results, regardless of the stressful conditions in which it was shot.

Skin and portrait work with dodge-burn, background replacement, brightness/contrast correction - this is not a complete list of what we can do. All actual prices can be seen on our site.
Our main goal is to make sure that the edits were invisible to the client and create the impression that this perfection 100% natural. Most retouchers on the market have a tendency to overdo the image by excessive interference. We believe that true craftsmanship is to make everything as subtle and natural as possible.
