Photo Image Retouching Services

Transform your original images to become attractive "photographs". This service is ideal for all amateur photographers, but especially for amateur wedding and portrait photographers, or any photographers who prefer to spend their time with their camera rather than their computer. I'm an experienced photographer myself (see my portfolio link at the top of the page) who understands the importance of post-shooting image processing to optimize the original image.

Below is an example of an image before and after retouching. First, it was cropped to focus attention on the important part of the image. The undershirt was a distraction, so it was removed. The model's eyes and teeth were whitened. The color, brightness and contrast were adjusted. And finally, the image was sharpened to make it "pop".  The "Before" is a good image, but the "After" is a far better "photograph"
