Portrait Retouch

What is your advantage?

With 4 years of experience in documentary photography, I regularly handled large photo series, bringing them to a unified color correction.

In 2023, I completed advanced color courses (Colorist 1.0 and Okay, Polya by Paulina Shulgina), focusing on refined color control, unwanted color cast removal, and reference-based grading.

In 2025, I completed a professional high-end retouching course by Valeria Yaskova and continue to grow my technique through constant practice and education.

What are your values in retouching?

I truly believe that quality lies in natural aesthetics and authenticity — my retouching preserves true features. No heavy liquify or over-smoothed skin in my work.

I also prioritize:
honesty and transparency
mutual respect
confidentiality
clear communication
respect for deadlines and time — yours and mine

My goal is to save your time and deliver consistent, reliable results.

How is workflow going?

Workflow:

1. You send images and a technical brief
(I can help you create one if needed)

2. We discuss details, deadlines, and pricing

3. I start working only after prepayment
50% Prepayment is made — 50% of the work completed
Final payment → delivery of finished images after revision approval

Important: Orders under 3 images require 100% prepayment
Important: Prepayment guarantees safety for both client and retoucher.

What are the rules for test image?

I provide a watermarked test image so you can review my style and approach.

If you like the result — watermark is removed after full payment
If not — no payment required, watermark remains

What if i need help with technical brief?

I'm here to help you with a clear, detailed brief so that your vision is realized perfectly.

References for color-grading and retouch
are welcome — from my portfolio or elsewhere.

Important: Details not in the brief are not included in the price; additional edits require an additional fee or may not be included.

Do you offer revisions for free?

Revisions within the agreed technical brief are free.
Revisions due to my mistakes are always free too.
Up to 2 additional revisions outside the brief
Further revisions = paid individually

Revision requests: within 2–3 days after delivery
Revision time: 1–2 days

Important: Best reviewed on desktop for accurate colors and details.
