Retouching

 

About Retouching – Photographs usually do not depict people the way our eyes see them.  Facial lines and blemishes are exaggerated.  Minor wardrobe and set defects appear more pronounced and are more distracting.  Because the camera transforms a 3-D person into a 2 dimensional image, the subject may appear slightly disproportionate and possibly heavier than she truly is.  Retouching allows us to present people in a much more realistic fashion.

 

Standard Retouching applies to original image only – includes:

·removing blemishes

·softening facial lines

·removing stray hairs

· removing facial shine

·adjusting jaw lines

$15

Note on Printing

Your portrait will be printed according to your instructions or like the proof (in the absence of specific requests).

If we fail to follow your instructions or if the prints differ substantially from the proof, we will gladly remake your portrait at no charge.

If you decide to have the portrait remade differently from your previous instructions or from the proof, we will redo the portrait at cost (approximately $20 per 8x10 or equivalent).  If the portrait requires retouching not previously requested, there will be a standard retouching charge unless deluxe retouch package was purchased.

 

[i] A look – Any wardrobe or set change; may include one or several poses

[ii] High School and College Seniors - Minimum order for the package at 30% off regular portrait prices; All other portrait clients - minimum order for the package at 20% off regular portrait prices
 **If for some reason you do not like your proofs enough to reach the minimum portrait order, you may reduce your order to any amount using regular portrait prices (no discounts).  Session fees, proof deposits, and makeup fees are non-refundable.

[iii] Session fee plus minimum portrait order

[iv] Proof Deposit – a non-refundable deposit allowing you to take the proofs out of the studio for review.  Deposit amount is credited as a payment toward your final portrait order

[v] Deluxe Retouch Package – all proofs in the proof set are partially retouched.  All portraits in the final order have standard retouching.  Any additional retouching requested is provided at ½ the regular price with a maximum charge of $15.
