Editorial retouching
Clean, honest retouching for portraits and stories that need to hold up in print. Skin kept as skin, dodge-and-burn done by hand, nothing plastic. The person still looks like themselves — on a good day, at their real best.
Four disciplines, each shown as a proof pair — the file that came in beside the file that went out. Every project runs the same considered way, from brief to delivered set.

High-detail work for beauty and cosmetic frames — texture kept, blemishes and stray hairs cleaned, tones evened without erasing the face. Frequency separation where it earns its place, never as a shortcut. Built to survive a full-page crop.
A deliberate colour pass across a set — matched skin tones, a consistent palette, the mood the shoot was after. Delivered as a look you can reuse, not a one-off filter. Good for a series that has to read as one body of work.
Careful repair of damaged and faded photographs — tears, creases, water marks, lost detail rebuilt with respect for the original. Scanned, restored, and returned at print resolution. Priced per photograph once I have seen the damage.
