What We Do

What We Do in Every Portrait
We keep changes small. Nobody should think “this was retouched”, only that the person looks great.
Skin

Natural Skin

Blemishes, uneven color and dry patches are fixed by hand at high zoom. Pores and natural highlights on the face stay.

  • No blur filters
  • Hand-shaped light and shadow
  • Face shape unchanged
Eyes & Teeth

Eyes & Teeth

We reduce red veins without turning the eye whites flat white, add life to the eyes, and brighten teeth so they still look real.

  • Natural eye detail
  • Red veins reduced
  • Teeth look real
Hair & Clothing

Hair & Clothing

Stray hairs removed, thin parting filled in, and lint and flakes cleaned off dark jackets and knitwear.

  • Stray hairs removed
  • Natural-looking hairline
  • Clean collar and shoulders
Color

Color & Lighting

We fix color casts from studio flash, calm redness on ears, neck and chest, and smooth out uneven tones.

  • Even skin tone
  • Color cast fixed
  • 16-bit master files
THE STANDARD

Why Photographers and Executives Avoid AI Headshots

In business and casting, fake-looking skin loses trust fast. A real-looking portrait needs a human touch.

AI Apps & Cheap Presets

The Plastic Look

Quick presets that remove what makes a person look like themselves.

  • ✕
    Plastic skin: Heavy blur turns real pores into smooth rubber.
  • ✕
    Changed features: AI apps can warp the eyes, reshape the jaw and swap in a fake smile.
  • ✕
    Flat lighting: The face loses depth and looks flat in print.
  • ✕
    Privacy risks: Your photos get uploaded to servers you know nothing about.

Yes. Headshot and portrait retouching (starts at $50 / image) makes you look like yourself on your best day: rested, confident and approachable. Your natural skin texture, freckles and expression lines stay.

AI headshot apps and heavy blur filters remove the tiny pores of real skin and give a plastic look that hurts your credibility. We spend 1 to 2 hours per portrait adjusting light and shadow by hand, so the skin stays sharp and natural, even in print.

Yes. We rebuild the eye and skin behind glasses reflections, straighten crooked frames, remove collar wrinkles and suit lint, and tidy stray hairs against studio or outdoor backgrounds.

Yes. There is no minimum order. A single portrait or LinkedIn headshot gets the same senior retoucher, RAW color grading and 3 included revision rounds as a large agency campaign.

Yes. For teams photographed on different days, with different cameras or in different offices, we match background brightness, color temperature, cropping and skin tones, so the whole page looks consistent.

We accept all major camera RAW formats (Canon, Sony, Nikon, Fujifilm, Hasselblad, Phase One), as well as TIFF, PSD, and DNG. Your images stay private and are never shared publicly without permission. An NDA is available on request.
