How a Professional Headshot Impacts Career Growth
Frequently Asked Questions About Editing Portraits
Q: Will my headshot look fake if it is retouched?
No. Our professional philosophy ensures the authenticity of the subject is preserved. We perform subtle, non-destructive retouching that enhances your natural features rather than fundamentally altering them. The goal is the best version of you, not a computer-generated image.
Q: How do I choose the right level of retouching?
If you need clean, professional images for work profiles, Basic is ideal. For polished and publication-ready portraits, opt for Advanced or Premium.
Q: Can I request specific edits?
Yes. We encourage you to share any particular preferences during your review stage. Custom edits are available upon request.
Q: Are all images edited the same way?
No. Each portrait is reviewed individually. We adapt the editing style to lighting, clothing, and skin tone for consistent results.
Q: What is the difference between photo editing and high-end retouching?
Editing covers foundational adjustments like colour, contrast, and cropping. Retouching is the advanced, detailed process of improving cosmetic elements, such as skin, hair, and minor figure correction, to achieve a flawless yet authentic look.
Q: Why do professional headshots cost more for retouching?
Our retouching prices reflect the manual expertise and time of a skilled human retoucher, not automated software. This level of detail is necessary to maintain skin texture, ensure subtle corrections, and deliver corporate-grade visual quality that protects your brand's reputation.
