Beauty, blue eyes

Move the loupe over the frame to see the original underneath. After retouching, skin stays skin: texture, pores and natural glow remain.

What I do

Skin
Natural retouching that keeps texture, Dodge & Burn, even tone; I remove blemishes, tapes and stray hairs.
Face and make-up
Expressive eyes, brows and lashes, freckles, blush, facial volume, white teeth and eyes, lip highlights, recolouring make-up in any shade.
Hair and nails
Flyaways, volume, nails of any complexity.
Body
Delicate shaping, full-length frames, longer legs, double chin. The person still looks like themselves.
Background and clothing
Background clean-up, recolouring backgrounds and clothes in any colour.
Colour
Colour matching to a reference, film, old money, gloss, soft tones, deep black-and-white, tan and «golden skin».
Effects
Sunset light, glow, shadows on the model, motion blur, neon, collages, magazine typography.
Series and catalogues
Consistent colour across a large series, fast retouching for catalogues and reportage.
