"The best retoucher in Chicago"
~Playboy model Lauren Leigh, 8/27/2011
"I am so glad I found you, Ryan. You are a phenomenal photographer and a great person. I am relieved that you know how to do all this technical stuff for me and you are so affordable. Here's to doing business with ya!"
~D.K., 4/25/2010
"You are a freakin god! I can't believe how good you made me look."
~D.K., 4/11/2011
"I booked 11 more shoots and a workshop :)"
~April-Lynn Paris (#1658010), 13 days after her first shoot with me to start her portfolio, 5/27/2010
"I got the portfolio ... ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I’m seriously SO happy with your work! ... Your photography is amazing (and I generally don’t really ever notice much difference)."

I've been a fulltime freelance photographer, videographer, and graphic designer since 2007. If it has to do with cameras or photoshop, count me in. I shoot locally in Chicago, but I can work worldwide for editing or designing
Rates may vary depending on the complexity, the image size, and the needs of the client. In most cases, I'll ask to see the original images before giving you a price quote
The 4 things I'll need from you to determine a rate:
---image output size? For example: Web (~600x900), Print (~1200x1800), or Full (~2400x3600) -- the size of the finished images affect the length of time for retouching. ie: in web-res, less details are seen, thus less retouching is needed, and the rate is cheaper
---how many images?
---what do you need done to them? (standard glamour retouching? background replacement? etc)
---how soon would you like them finished?
Please email or send me a message for a quote
Payment must either be made upfront in full, or half upfront/half on completion with the finished images watermarked before the second payment is made. The final images (after second payment) will not be watermarked.
