    uniE621 WHITE WEDDING
    This was a white wedding gallery where the goal was to keep everything soft, clean and timeless. I started with a base edit to balance exposure and white tones, making sure the dress stayed bright without losing detail. From there, I worked across the full set to keep the colors consistent, especially between indoor and outdoor shots. Skin tones were kept natural and true, with light retouching on the couple to remove distractions while preserving texture. I also paid attention to small details like background distractions and uneven lighting so the final gallery feels polished and cohesive from start to finish. The final result is a clean, airy wedding look that feels natural, consistent and true to the moment. wedding photoediting weddingphotography portrait retouching

    uniE621 Dark Skin Tone Retouch
    This edit focused on a dark skin portrait where the goal was to enhance, not alter. I worked on balancing the tones to keep the richness of the skin while bringing out depth and light in the right areas. Instead of over-smoothing, I kept the natural texture and used subtle retouching to clean up minor distractions. Lighting and color were adjusted to complement the skin tone, making sure it stayed warm, even and realistic. I also refined details like hair, edges and overall sharpness to give the image a polished finish. The result is a clean, refined portrait that highlights the beauty of the subject while keeping everything natural and true.
