Our retouching principles
Natural first
We keep natural pores and detail, never smoothing skin until it looks fake.
Strict for ID photos
Natural and compliant, not over-edited; facial features and outline are never altered.
Tuned to purpose
Professional and polished for resumes and LinkedIn, freer for social media, warm and authentic for couples and families.
Prepare before the shoot for better results
Retouching can't replace hair, makeup and outfit preparation beforehand.
- Style your hair beforehand; ask your photographer to adjust strands covering your eyebrows or eyes.
- For glasses prone to glare, take them off or switch to lens-free frames.
- Iron or press your clothes; wrinkles in plaid or striped clothing can't be retouched.
- Add our hair and makeup service for a better makeup result.
- If you notice glasses glare or untidy hair, tell us right away and your photographer will reshoot.
