# LightHouse Retouch (https://www.lh-retouch.com)

> Boutique photo retouching studio based in Ukraine, working with clients worldwide since 2015. Every image is retouched by hand by senior retouchers (no AI filters) for beauty, portraits and headshots, fashion, commercial products and jewelry. 1,100+ completed projects. One photo or a full project, no minimum order.

LightHouse Retouch focuses on natural, invisible retouching: real skin texture, pores, freckles and true product details stay intact. Unlike AI photo editors and low-cost bulk services that blur or invent detail, we work by hand with dodge & burn, frequency separation and calibrated color (16-bit, EIZO monitors).

## Why photographers and brands choose us
- **Hand retouching, no AI filters**: Skin keeps its pores and texture. Fabric keeps its weave. Logos, labels and gemstones are never invented or warped.
- **RAW processing and color grading included**: We accept RAW, DNG, TIFF, PSD and high-resolution JPEG. RAW development and color grading are included in every order.
- **One photo or a full project**: No minimum order. A single headshot gets the same care as a 100-image lookbook.
- **Personal reply within 12 hours**: A senior retoucher reviews every request and replies with a quote and turnaround before any payment.
- **Privacy**: Client photos are never published or used to train AI without permission. NDAs are available for unreleased work.
