Photo retouching for Style Quarterly Magazine

Make every shot perfect

The value of quality photo retouching lies in taking a shot that’s almost perfect, to exactly what you’d envisioned, in a way that doesn’t distract the viewer from the overall image.

All it can take to achieve this is often basic color correction, lens distortion removal, or simple blemish clearing. The art in doing this well is to harness editing methods that are so understated they are almost undetectable, which our photo retouchers excel in.

Our industry-standard retouching techniques ensure quality, efficient work in impressive turnaround times, saving you the time and money involved in reshooting.

Number of images: 20

With the fashion and beauty world having moved away from hyper-perfect, over-edited retouching work some time ago, our team of photo retouchers prioritize a light-handed approach that focuses on true-to-life results.

Our talented photo retouchers harness cutting-edge, highly effective editing software, and employ refined and understated techniques to get the most out of each shot.

  • ‘Photoshop facial’ including minimized wrinkles, evening of skin tone, correction of makeup and eyebrows
  • Facial shine removal
  • Eye and teeth whitening and enhancement
  • Fly away removal/hair tidying
  • Color and density correction
  • Body and face contouring and shaping, to customer’s preferences
  • Clothing color changes, and correction of sagging or wrinkled clothes
  • Background replacement or changes
  • Removal of background ‘noise’, such as cars, buildings, animals, and people
  • Hotspot and lens flare removal
  • Color and density correction

Better results than I could ever have hoped for! Our large wedding party was a hoot, but a lot of the photos were really crowded and uncomposed. The retouching we had done ‘simplified’ some of the key shots by removing  More

Beautiful results, tastefully done. We had a photoshoot done of our newborn son, to send to friends and family abroad. The retouching work these folks did was so subtle, and allowed for more usable shots of our wriggly new baby! Highly recommended.
