    paper retouch

    I am a professional retoucher with experience across multiple areas of image editing. I specialize in product, portrait, interior, and beauty retouching, as well as high-quality object isolation.

    In product retouching, I focus on details, textures, and accurate color representation to highlight the quality and appeal of the product. In portrait retouching, I work carefully with skin, light, and color while preserving a natural look and the individuality of the subject.

    Interior retouching includes perspective correction, lighting adjustments, and color balancing to create a harmonious and realistic space. In beauty retouching, I use advanced techniques such as frequency separation and Dodge & Burn to achieve clean, professional results without an artificial “plastic” look.

    I also perform object isolation of any complexity, delivering clean cut-outs and preparing images for catalogs, marketplaces, and advertising materials.

    I maintain high quality standards in my work, meet deadlines, and pay close attention to each client’s requirements.
