Headshot Retouching

Import and Organization:

We begin by importing the headshot images into our chosen photo editing software, organizing the files for easy access and management during the retouching process.

Basic Adjustments:

We start with basic adjustments such as exposure, contrast, and color balance to correct any issues with the overall tone and brightness of the image.

Skin Retouching:

Zooming in, we address specific skin imperfections such as blemishes, acne, or uneven skin tones using tools like healing brushes or spot healing, aiming to gently retouch these areas while preserving the natural texture of the skin.

Wrinkle and Fine Line Reduction:

If applicable, we reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines while maintaining a realistic look, being careful not to overdo this step to avoid an unnatural appearance.

Eye Enhancements:

We focus on enhancing the eyes by brightening them, improving clarity, and adjusting the color if necessary. We carefully retouch the whites of the eyes to make them appear clean and vibrant.

Teeth Whitening:

If the headshot includes a smile, we consider whitening the teeth for a polished and confident look, adjusting the brightness and contrast of the teeth while avoiding an overly artificial appearance.

Hair Refinement:

We address any stray hairs, frizz, or unevenness in the hair using tools like cloning and healing brushes to refine the hair without losing its natural flow.

Facial Contouring:

We enhance the natural contours of the face by subtly adjusting highlights and shadows, adding dimension to the face and emphasizing its unique features.

Color Correction:

We fine-tune the overall color balance of the image, ensuring that skin tones, clothing, and background colors appear accurate and pleasing.

Clothing and Background Adjustments:

We check for any distracting elements in the clothing or background and make necessary adjustments, ensuring that the focus remains on the subject.

Final Polish:

We conduct a final review of the entire image, checking for any overlooked details and making subtle adjustments as needed to achieve a cohesive and polished final result.

Finally, the finished headshots are uploaded and sent to you. You can be sure that each photo is given the treatment it needs to be the best it can be. If you have any questions about how we can meet your specific needs, feel free to reach out to us anytime.
