Retouching

In life we don’t spend three uninterrupted minutes studying someone’s face close up.

That’s why retouching a still image is so important.

Retouching brings a portrait closer to how we remember meeting someone in person. Given these portraits are to show the best of ourselves, my goal is always to honor, not to deceive. We address distractions that take away from the true message of the picture.

There are no cheap filters, smoothing or A.I. weirdness here. I know I’ve done a great job when the viewer doesn’t notice that an image was retouched!
