Professional Retouching
Love a shot and want it finished? A real digital artist corrects the color, lighting, and background — the problems DIY shoots actually have — for a polished, studio look, at exactly the finish you chose, and stops there. We never touch your body, and nothing gets quietly “improved” behind your back.
We're not open yet. Ordering opens with launch — and prices are already published on the pricing page so you know exactly what to expect. Every image is the same flat price, and you buy them five at a time.
How an order works
Four steps, one of which is a genuine off-ramp: nothing is final until you've seen proofs and said yes.
Send your favorites
Pick the frames you love and tell us how finished you want them. You choose the finish; there are no defaults doing quiet work in the background.
18+ ID check
A government-ID document and a selfie liveness check, run on our own servers rather than sent to an outside company. It happens before any work starts — until it passes, your uploads stay sealed: our staff tools don't display them, and every access is logged.
An artist works it by hand
One person, one order, professional editing tools. No model of you is trained — nothing about you is learned, stored, or reused.
Proofs, then your files
Watermarked proofs to look at properly, in your own time. Ask for changes, or approve them and the full-resolution files are yours.
You set the finish
Let's be clear about what this is. Nothing in your photo is a flaw being fixed — you were beautiful in the original file, and the original file is still yours. This is about the version you want to keep, print, and hand to someone. So you pick how finished it looks, and we go exactly that far — and the one thing the dial never reaches is you. Retouching here works on the picture: the color, the light, the room. It does not work on your body.
Yours, always
As shot
Your original files, exactly as your camera made them. Whatever finish you choose, these stay yours untouched — every ladder we show you starts from the truth.
Included in every order — and it never touches you
Natural
Exposure, color and white balance sorted out; mixed light tamed; distracting clutter tidied away. The fixable problems of DIY photography, fixed — the difference between the shot you took and the shot you thought you were taking. And a promise with teeth: your skin tone is matched, never shifted — a drift toward lighter, ashier, or flattened skin is a defect in our work, not a house style.
Choose it or don't
Polished
A gentle finish — temporary blemishes and stray hairs cleaned up, shadows lifted, highlights tamed. Removed at this level: only what would be gone in a fortnight anyway — a spot, a flyaway. Your freckles, moles and stretch marks are permanent — they stay. And if you'd like even a temporary mark kept, say so and it's kept.
Only if you ask for it
Editorial
The magazine grade: a stronger, more deliberate look in the color and the light, lipstick evened, brows and lashes defined, shine reduced — the way a cover shot is finished. This level adds; it removes nothing further. It changes the photograph's mood, and it still doesn't change you.
Not a setting. Not at any price.
Your body — never
There is no dial here that narrows a waist, smooths a stretch mark, or edits your shape, because we don't offer one. Your scars, your marks, your softness, your proportions: they arrive as they are and they leave as they are. This is finishing, not fixing — and nothing about your body is on the list of things a photograph needs fixed.
The first three are a dial you hold; the fourth isn't a dial at all. We used to offer body work at a level you selected, and we stopped — because a service that will narrow your waist if you tick a box has already told you your waist was a question. Ask us for a warmer grade, a calmer light, a tidier room, all of it. The answer to “can you make me smaller?” is no, kindly and every time.
Fully refundable until you approve
Watermarked proofs come first. Until you approve them and receive the full-resolution, unwatermarked images, your order is fully refundable — no deduction, no fee, no questions asked.
You don't have to justify it, and you don't have to have found a fault. If the photos aren't what you hoped for, you shouldn't be paying for them.
Retouching trains no model of you
Your photos are worked on by an artist using professional editing tools. That's the whole of it. Nothing about you is learned, kept as a model, or reused — that only happens in Virtual You, where it is the service and we say so.
Your images are encrypted in transit and at rest, never sold or shared, and never used to train shared, public, or cross-customer models.
What we need from you
- You're 18 or older, and so is everyone in the photo
- The photos are of you — and if someone else appears, you have their written permission
- You have the right to send them. If a professional took the shot, they usually own the copyright even though it's a picture of you, so we'd need their written permission too
Turnaround: typically 2 to 5 business days. That's a target, not a guarantee — it's bespoke work by a person — and if an order is going to run late through volume or complexity, we'll tell you within 48 hours rather than let you wonder.
Questions before you'd trust us with a photo?
Good — ask them. Whether it's how far the finish goes, what happens to the files afterwards, or whether your shot is even worth finishing, a real person will answer honestly, including when the answer is no.
