Photographs preserve our history—a story we always love revisiting. On one hand, we want to look beautiful and youthful; on the other, if a portrait is retouched to make us look a decade younger, it loses the power to tell the true story of who we were and what we really looked like.

When retouching photos, I strive for balance: I make only necessary adjustments, such as removing temporary blemishes, gently evening out skin tone, or softening deeper wrinkles. This involves removing under-eye shadows, stray pimples, or scratches without altering facial features or structure, while preserving natural skin texture and pores—avoiding any "plastic" look or loss of detail. At the same time, I ensure authentic details remain intact.

Depending on your preferences, I offer either a natural or a "fashion" (maximum) retouching style:

  • Original

  • Natural retouching: shine removal, slight tone correction, smoothing of deeper wrinkles.

  • Fashion-style retouching: an even more intensive, maximum level of correction, yet skin texture, pores, and all details are preserved. It can be compared to luxurious, barely-there makeup.
