Frequently asked

  • Which package should I choose?

    Essential for portraits and personal branding that need a polished, natural finish. Premium when images need dodge and burn, colour grading and clothing and background cleanup. Editorial / Campaign for beauty, editorial and commercial frames that need product refinement and creative polish.

  • How do I send the files?

    Upload through the client portal, or share a Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer or Pixieset link. Check that the link is accessible before you send it.

  • Does high-end retouching still look natural?

    Yes. The finish is clean and polished, and the subject stays realistic, with skin texture kept rather than smoothed away.

  • Should I send reference images?

    Yes, it is strongly recommended. References show us the retouching style, skin finish, colour tone and mood to match.

    That depends on the package. Whichever one you choose, put all your revision notes clearly in one message.

  • Do you offer bulk retouching?
