Hi there, Dave is my name and Photoshop is my drug of choice. My philosophy on retouching and Photoshop is that if the retouching smacks you in the face, it's overdone. No porcelain doll looks from me... anyone can run a gaussian blur. I'm here to help you make a great image into a Phenomenal image. They say the Devil's in the details... that stray hair, the blotchy skin, lack of color uniformity, proper level adjustments, color balance, that electrical outlet on the wall that you missed... and on and on it goes. I challenge you to a game of "Where's Waldo" with my samples and see the attention to detail I put into each and every job I do. You'll see there is a lot more than just your basic density adjustment and a overall color correction. I'm not a photo illustrator, I retouch.
Pricing is dependent on how extensive the retouching request is. A basic retouch starts at $25.00 for approximately 30 minutes of work. I will provide watermarked preliminary images as a means of ongoing communication to ensure you are satisfied. A high resolution file will be delivered on approval of proof and payment in full. I only accept payment through PayPal. Questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.

My day job is a Commercial Photographer. Lots of corporate, medical and children's editorial stuff. So I guess the body of my work isn't really appropriate for MM, not enough T&A to fit in as a photographer!
