Hello, and welcome! I have been working in the photography world for nearly 20 years, with my clients ranging from models, clothing designers, corporate photographers, the list goes on. While I began in front of the camera, I'm currently strictly on the 'behind the scenes' train and primarily focusing on editing. I have begun working with an array of different styles of photography recently and have loved every edit I've been lucky enough to take the time on. I pride myself on my client satisfaction rate, quick turnaround times, and vast skill set. Whether it is a simple edit or something more complex, I love a new challenge and strive to bring a great finished product to the table.

I am an illustrator with over 10 years’ experience in the field and on my 5th year on Upwork. I work in traditional mediums (watercolor, pen and ink) as well as in digital illustration, but most often I combine both techniques for my signature hand-drawn look. My strength is to combine artistic and technical so come to me for your educational, instructional, medical illustrations. I also create artistic architectural renderings which could be used for interior remodels, concept pitching or as a gift. You will get architecturally accurate space with all colours and materials, depicted with stylish artistic feel. Looking forward to working together!

A good image can be made better, but in the right hands with the right editor, a good image can be made outstanding! Applying the highest standards of excellence, regardless of the size of the project or the client -- every project I undertake will always be given the utmost care to ensure the highest quality and dynamic design. I work quickly and efficiently and I consider strong communication with my clients the core of my business. After many years doing photo editing as part of my graphic design projects, I have decided to make that my main career. I take each image on its own merits and do not simply run a preset or macro to bang out images fast. The goal is to bring out the best in the photograph. My experience with graphic design also gives me a good knowledge of what makes images work. Interaction with my clients to assess their needs and requirements is the just the starting point. The project is then developed keeping those requirements in the forefront. With extensive work experience, my projects have included almost every aspect of graphic design, including print media (newspaper/magazine ads, brochures, posters, press kits, logo/corporate identity design, etc.), outdoor advertising, television animation and design (complete show graphic design, news graphics, animation) and website/flash design.

How to Hire Top Photo Retouchers

HOW TO HIRE PHOTO RETOUCHERS

Finished with global edits such as color correction but still feel your photos could use a little retouching before you present them to the world? A photo retoucher can help.

So how do you hire photo retouchers? What follows are some tips for finding top photo retouchers on Upwork.

How to shortlist photo retouching professionals

As you’re browsing available photo retouching consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

Portfolio. A great way to judge a photo retoucher’s skills is to see their portfolio.
Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., retouching models for a magazine cover).
Feedback Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular photo retoucher.

How to write an effective photo retouching job post

With a clear picture of your ideal photo retoucher in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

An effective photo retouching job post should include:

Scope of work: From removing red eyes from photos to masking blemishes, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or photo editing tools, mention this here.
Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

Why hire photo retouchers?

The trick to finding top photo retouchers is to identify your needs. Is your goal to retouch a photo for your LinkedIn profile? Or do you have a backlog of wedding photos that need that final polish before presenting them to a client? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.

How much does it cost to hire a photo retoucher?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

An experienced photo retoucher may command higher fees but also work faster, have more specialized areas of expertise, and deliver a higher-quality product.
A freelancer who is still in the process of building a client base may price their photo retouching services more competitively.

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
