Basic Editing Vs. Full Portrait Retouching

After each photo session I carefully edit all images and prepare them for a customer in high (for printing) and low (for web) resolutions.

Any of my photo sessions include basic editing - artistic color and exposure correction - so that all images the customer receives on a disk look great and are print-ready. Such basic editing does not include any pixel manipulation (skin cleaning, under eyes, teeth whitening, or any detail change in the image). However, due to my lighting techniques and photoshop skills most of the time further retouching is not required.

Samples of images after basic editing:

Full portrait retouching is what takes a portrait to a whole new level. Your skin is clean and radiant, your hair is shiny and your eyes are full of light.
Check out samples of the fully retouched portraits (before and after) below.

I also offer Creative Professional Photo Retouching services for additional photos of your choice from our photo session, your own photographs, or photos taken for you by another photographer. I typically quote per job, but basically it`s $10-20 per photo if it only requires just basic color/exposure correction and minimal pixel manipulation, up to $60 if a portrait requires more skin cleaning and detailed correction.
