Great question. Many photographers in the city "shoot and burn" - meaning they take the photographs and put them directly into a digital format for you without much post-production.
I take great pride in finishing any photograph that you order to be printed for your wall, framed as a stand-up, or in a family album. ‘Finishing’ is the high-quality layer of finesse that I add in post-production that I could not capture
at the time in-camera.
Common techniques that I used to finish my work include density and color correction, skin softening, removal of distracting background objects, cropping and vignettes. I don't do these to every photograph because that would be time prohibitive
for me - and cost prohibitive for you.
Instead once you have placed your order, I will get to work finishing your selections and you will receive those either in print or digital form depending on what you are purchasing.
Unless it is a complex retouching request (like the removal of braces) I will do the retouching in-house. I charge an hourly fee for retouching. For complex requests I will outsource to a retouch expert and pass that cost along to you after
quotation.
