COLOUR GRADING:

Grading is essential to an impactful campaign or photoshoot and for me really makes or breaks the whole project. I take the upmost care and time into realising your vision into - i do this by asking the client for a mood-board or sample of images to create the grade around, but even if you were to suggest a “mood” i will be able to create personalise grade.
I offer this service for all forms of creative imagery and as a one off cost per project.

CREATIVE RETOUCHING:

I’ve spent many years building up my creative editing portfolio, it’s something i am incredibly passionate about - I always go above and beyond to deliver what the client is looking for - hopefully you can see that in my portfolio.

My Creative Retouching focuses on Campaigns, Look-books, Fashion Editorials and so on, for both brands and photographers.
I also appreciate that sometimes 9-5 sometimes doesn’t fit the creative industry and a photographers schedule so i offer a per image tariff for this form of photo editing. Depending on the project size i aim to get these back to you the following day or even same day.

ECOMMERCE RETOUCHING:

“E-commerce Retouching” typically refers to editing model photography on a plain background and garment still life for the use of e-commerce, this also includes ghost mannequin cut outs. I do work on other forms of E-commerce, for example simple flat lays however anything creative and requiring more work might be considered “creative retouching”. I work on a simple day rate tariff for this type of work.

HEADSHOTS/PORTRAITS RETOUCHING:

I work with many talented headshot and portrait photographers across the globe to edit their clients in a natural way, especially in the regards to skin. Most of those featured on my Headshots page are actors or corporate headshots - so i want to stay true to the subject as much as possible whilst allowing them to look at their very best!
