This collection showcases the transformation process behind each image — revealing the subtle refinements and thoughtful enhancements that elevate the final result while preserving the integrity of the original capture. My approach combines high-end retouching with a strong emphasis on natural beauty, balanced tones, and editorial polish.
Alongside traditional techniques such as texture cleanup, color correction, and precision masking, some examples in this project feature advanced workflows including texture rebuilding, light reconstruction, and generative object cleanup. These tools help streamline the process and achieve a more refined, cohesive visual outcome — especially important for beauty, editorial, and commercial imagery.
These before-and-after comparisons offer a glimpse into the care and precision behind each piece. Every image is approached individually, with adjustments tailored to the photographer’s style, the model’s features, and the intended final mood. The goal is always to elevate the visual narrative while keeping the result authentic, polished, and true to the original vision.
I also focus on refining background color, exposure, and overall tonal harmony, enhancing depth and richness to create a clean, fashion-forward aesthetic that complements the subject and supports the intended mood of the series.
I always adapt the level of retouching to each client’s preferences — maintaining natural features when desired, or enhancing details more creatively depending on the brief and the individual image.
This flexibility helps me match each client’s preferred balance of natural preservation or creative enhancement, while staying true to my signature eye for detail and the unique qualities each image presents.
