How do you retouch my headshots?
Photography retouching for headshot photos involves refining and enhancing facial features, skin texture, and overall appearance. It aims to present subjects in their best light while maintaining a natural look and feel, ensuring a polished and professional final image. In general, the retouching we do for headshots is minimal. It's important to ensure that you still look like you in your headshots! Here is a basic idea of what we do and don't retouch in headshots:
