***PLEASE NOTE THAT MY RATE FOR PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICES IS DIFFERENT FROM THE RATE LISTED FOR RETOUCHING SERVICES*** If you've made it to my page then welcome! So happy to have you here and I can't wait to collaborate with you on your next project. (: I understand how important it is to hire the right person who understands your needs while delivering quality work, so I want to assure you that your projects are in great hands when working with me. No matter what position you are in, as a photographer trying to outsource your overload of headshot sessions, an e-commerce agency looking for bulk edits of models and garments, or a wedding/family photographer who needs their sessions batch edited, look no further because I'm here to relieve you of that stress! And let's be honest, photo editing services are not just for established photographers who are swamped with clients' sessions, they're for anyone who needs a general touch-up for their own portfolio or social media, maybe you want to do a funny face swap of you and a celebrity or someone who has an incredibly cool concept digitally but doesn't know how to execute it; I do all of that and more. (: I spent over 10 years working customer service jobs so I understand how important it is to communicate and connect with diverse personalities. I always come from the angle of compassion/empathy and try to understand my client's pain points to make sure that I not only meet but excel their needs. The main complaint that my clients have expressed to me about other retouchers they have hired is that the person they originally hired was not as experienced as they had claimed to be and they ended up spending more money to have to hire a new retoucher (me) to complete the job the way they had originally wanted. I will make this an easy and streamlined process for you as I do not want this to be a transaction between client and freelancer, this is a collaboration of ideas and goals and hopefully create a long-lasting partnership for your future projects. Over the past 10+ years working with photography I have had the ability to learn the ins and outs of Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, Capture One and Adobe Illustrator and utilize the tools in these programs to provide industry-standard editing techniques. My skills with Photoshop/Lightroom/Illustrator are listed below but not limited to: - white balance correction - color correction - color matching - liquify - dodging and burning - frequency separation - curves adjustment layer - adjusting image orientation - face swaps - product retouching - eye brightening - teeth whitening - correcting flyaway hairs - adjusting image size - photo compositing - image manipulation - skin clean-up basic and editorial level - photo restorations - color grading - watermarking images and embedding watermarks into the file names - With Lightroom, there is a really neat tool that you can use to batch edit color corrections and white balance adjustments, etc. to help expedite the process (batch editing) - exporting files with the proper file name and type (i.e. JPEG). - Typography - Email templates - Social media templates - Basic Logo designs - Abstract artwork - And more! In order to adhere to style and branding for each of my clients, it's always essential to make sure that I am in constant communication with my client and sharing what is being worked on every step of the way. I am a team player and I am ALWAYS open to feedback from my clients and making sure that my work exceeds my clients' expectations each and every time. (: But don't just take my word for it, please review my personal retouching/editing portfolio and see that I will be a fit for your next project's needs. And don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions about me as I am more than happy to answer them! So what happens next? If you like what you've read so far then shoot me a message and we will begin our discovery conversation to discuss your project further so that we make it a point to meet your needs (and reduces revisions in the long run). I start on your project, send you the first round of edits, and you provide feedback if any is needed, I make those revisions until you are 100% happy with the work!
