Portrait editor and Color grading using Lightroom

I'm a professional photographer and photo retoucher with 6 years of experience specializing in natural, high-quality portrait retouching, beauty, fashion, and commercial photography. I help photographers, studios, agencies, and brands create polished images while preserving what makes each person unique. **WHAT I CAN HELP YOU WITH** • Portrait & Headshot Retouching – Clean, professional results for corporate headshots, personal branding, and portrait sessions. • Beauty & Fashion Retouching – Refined skin, balanced tones, and polished imagery for model portfolios, editorial work, and beauty campaigns. • Natural Skin Retouching – Blemish removal, skin tone correction, and texture refinement without making skin look plastic or overly smooth. • Commercial Photo Editing – Consistent color, lighting, and finishing for catalogs, campaigns, and professional image collections. • Color Correction & Image Enhancement – Exposure, white balance, color grading, and tonal adjustments to achieve a cohesive, professional look. **MY RETOUCHING APPROACH** I believe great retouching should enhance an image, not make it look artificial. I use techniques such as frequency separation and Dodge & Burn when appropriate to refine skin while maintaining natural texture, dimension, and realistic detail. I also pay attention to facial features, skin tones, lighting, and the overall mood of the image. My background as a photographer helps me understand the creative direction behind an image, not just the technical editing process. I aim to deliver results that complement the photographer's style and meet the project's visual requirements. **WHY WORK WITH ME?** • 6 years of photography and photo editing experience • Experience working with models, beauty queens, and celebrity imagery • A natural, detail-oriented retouching style • Consistent results that follow your references and creative direction • Clear communication and a commitment to quality Whether you need a single polished portrait or ongoing retouching support for your studio, I'm happy to discuss your workflow and requirements. Have a project in mind? Send me a message and let's talk about the look you're aiming for. I'm also happy to complete a sample edit so you can evaluate my retouching style before committing to a larger project.
