Natural, high-end beauty & portrait retouching with clean skin texture. Perfect for photographers, brands, and editorial work. Most of my clients come to me when they want their images to look clean and polished - but still real. No plastic skin, no over-blurring, no loss of texture. I pay close attention to details that often get overlooked: - uneven skin tones on forehead and cheeks - redness on hands and face - small distractions that break the overall look - consistency across a full set of images My goal is not just to “retouch a photo”, but to make sure the final result feels natural, balanced, and professionally finished - like it belongs in a magazine, not over-edited. I’m comfortable working with: • beauty portraits • fashion/editorial images • close-up skin retouching • batch editing with consistent results I always adapt to the photographer’s style and brief. If needed, I can match references or previous edits so everything stays cohesive. If you’re unsure, you can send me one image, and I’ll do a test so you can see exactly what to expect.
