Editorial skin and color retouching for a portrait series of Stefania Cuero for 20|50 Magazine
This series called for a delicate balance between refinement and realism — polishing without erasing, enhancing without interrupting the quiet strength of the images. My retouching focused on creating naturally luminous skin with soft dimension, preserving the model’s features and texture while bringing clarity and harmony to every frame.
Color work played a central role in shaping the mood: subtle tonal shifts, gentle contrast sculpting, and cohesive palette refinement to support the understated sophistication of the editorial styling. Each image was cleaned, balanced, and unified to feel effortless and cinematic, while remaining faithful to the photographer’s vision.
