Image Retouching
We offer retouching for headshots we take or photos taken by other photographers, and it usually takes about 2-3 business days. Retouching is a post-production process designed to clean your final image of blemishes, under-eye circles, stray hairs, yellow teeth, etc., or even remove or change the background of an image. Immediate turnaround on retouching is available as well (same-day if the request is submitted before 4pm, or next day if submitted after 4pm).

A common worry people have with retouching is that it won't look natural. People worry that their skin will look plasticky and the image won't look real. We make sure to keep the image realistic while still removing the unnecessary and distracting elements.
Almost all of the images in the gallery have been retouched. Can you tell? You shouldn't be able to.

Standard Retouching
Standard retouching includes teeth whitening, flyaway hair fixes, under-eye circles removal, eye brightening, and blemish and shine removal. You can request a second pass of edits for no extra charge. Our goal with retouching is that it's a collaborative process where we do all the necessary edits but if you request specific changes, we'll quickly take care of them for you.
Advanced Retouching
If you require advanced retouching (hair changes, skin smoothing, facial or body slimming, clothing wrinkles fixed, stubble removal, hair color changing, etc.), there is an additional charge if the request is possible. We will let you know in advance if something isn't possible to do.
Background replacements, which are generally very time consuming, are charged at a flat fee (see below).
We have a few different packages of retouching that you can add onto any shoot. If you're confused about anything or would just like to pay via phone, please call the studio at (212) 706-1902.
Retouching takes about 2-3 business days and same-day turnaround can be done for an additional charge. If it's after 4pm, you'll receive the immediate retouch the next day.
