PRIVATE RETOUCHING PROCESS
Every portrait you see here is finished with intention.
Retouching, for me, is not about changing a person. It’s about protecting what’s already there—expression, texture, and emotion—without distraction.
That philosophy shapes every part of my process, from the way I photograph to the way I finish an image.
Portrait retouching should feel invisible.
Images are processed locally, never uploaded to a cloud or third-party service. Nothing leaves the computer. No background training. No data reuse.
The goal is consistency and restraint. Natural skin texture. Subtle refinement. Repeatable results that allow a series to feel cohesive and honest.
Portraits are personal.
Client images deserve the same care after the session as they do during it. That means avoiding systems that require uploads, accounts, or remote processing.
Retouching happens offline, on the photographer’s own machine, with predictable and deterministic results. The same image, with the same settings, will always produce the same outcome.
This is intentional.
For photographers who share this philosophy, I’ve made this retouching process available to use locally.
It runs on your own computer. It does not upload images. It does not rely on cloud-based AI services.
There is no obligation to use it. The work stands on its own.
This process is not designed for heavy beauty manipulation, one-click transformations, cloud-based workflows, or trend-driven AI aesthetics.
It is designed for portrait photographers who care about realism, consistency, and trust.
