Files should be at least 8x10 @ 300 ppi

Models/MUA's/Stylists: I will not edit any image you send me unless you direct me to the MM photographer that created the image and I obtain permission from them to edit it.

I will not work on M rated images

I may submit multiple versions of an edit free of charge

Read through my comments and the most common term you'll hear describing my work is... NATURAL!

My ultimate goal here on MM is to serve the needs of talented, visionary photographers who are limited simply in their knowledge of Photoshop itself and wish to leave that facet of their work flow to one more knowledgeable and experienced allowing them to do more of what they love... creating images.

My name is David and I provide quality Photoshop editing for those who are looking for a natural yet clean look to their images. You will not find heavy manipulation here, but rather, subtle, non-noticeable edits that emphasize the key elements of people photography. I pay special attention to skin tones and texture, brightness of eyes, removing unwanted shadows and highlights, and overall cohesiveness of the image.

I've previously been a professional photographer for a number of years so I understand much about lighting and how to enhance images with traditional, tried and true darkroom techniques found readily in Photoshop.


Thanks and have a great day,

David

David, Thank you for the edit. I really like the crispness and cleanness you did without making it look over edited. Overall it still looks natural which I really appreciate. You also completed the work in a professional and timely manner. You rock!

Good work buddy. To me the best retouch is when it beautify the photos and most people won't notice the retouch. You 'natural' retouch work best with good photographers. I've seen lots of retouches on here that go from bad to worse. Yours definitely goes from good to much better if not extraordinary. You are definitely on the right track.

Hi Dave,

I was very, very impressed with your work. Just goes to show what a first class photo editor can do with an image. Looking forward to working with you again in the future.

Keep up the good work,

So great to see my picture on avatar! I choose that one( very not perfect image with great pose) particularly to see someone else vision on editing, and so happy with the result!
I really like nice, clean job and very professional correspondence on the process. Thank you so much!
