I retouch beauty, fashion and commercial images in Adobe Photoshop, focusing on natural skin texture, careful cleanup and consistent color across a series. My clients include Adobe. My services include: • Beauty and portrait retouching • Fashion and editorial retouching • Color correction and color grading • Product and commercial photo editing • Compositing, object removal and background cleanup • Fixing anatomy, texture and lighting problems in AI-generated images I create my own beauty and fashion editorial projects, handling concept, styling, lighting, photography and post-production. Every image in my photography portfolio is my own work, from the initial concept to the final retouching. This experience informs my retouching: how light shapes the subject, how clothing sits on the body, and which skin and fabric details need to stay. Each image is finished according to its intended use and visual direction. I work non-destructively, keeping retouching and color adjustments on separate layers for later revisions. My work includes images for editorial, e-commerce and large-format print. Ian Zakharov
