#Step 1: Your Soft Copies return to you
5R Soft copies returned will all be professionally colour-corrected with signature warm toning. Ready to print or post (As you see on our social media) Just no further retouching on humans, Eg slimming/ airbrushing. These are not inclusive.
p/s We shoot using a unique blend of natural light & studio light, the soft lighting will naturally soften any blemishes.
Lights, colouring, crop, skin tone, slight skin smoothening etc will all be professionally corrected in Lightroom – a professional image manipulation software used by professionals. See the magic below by sliding the slider!
#Step 2: Retouched Printed Displays
There are many ways to preserve and display your photographic prints. Some examples are: in a coffee-table book, printed as a large canvas display or acrylic block or sharing on social media. Retouching (or commonly referred to as photoshop) is the final step where fine details such as blemishes are removed, wrinkles are softened and any love-handles are slimmed down.
Pro-tip: Keep your portraits natural and avoid over-photoshopping. This ensures your photographs are classic and timeless.
Any printed displays printed with us will be fully retouched.
