About me
http://i43.tinypic.com/2hzhh7k.jpg

About:

I am a full time high-end photo retoucher. I work with international and national photographers specializing in beauty and fashion. My retouching style falls in line with the industry standard.

Send me a message! I would love to hear from you.


Experience:

8 years of professional photoshop experience
15 years classically trained in fine art
5 years as a professional photographer


Principle:

1) Skin should not look like plastic.

2) Airbrushing and blurring is not retouching.


Equipment

Monitor - NEC 26 inch MultiSync Display

Calibration - Datacolor Spyder 3 Pro


Rates, File Types, and High-Res Samples:

I can work in every file type & color space.

Since each image is unique in size, quality, and the amount of work needed, please contact me via private message to get a quote and so that we can talk specifics about your project.


Thank you,

Pratik N.

I first started with a job while in college scanning 35mm slides and learning retouch from there up. My education is in illustration/animation so I'm interested in emotion and movement. Retouching skills helped me get ahead faster in the beginning but the better I got at shooting the less I had to edit.

Among the finest skills I have seen. Your work is beautiful and exhibits a certain "clean" look. Wonderful, creative, exemplary.

Yes, perhaps it would be a good combination.. :-) Although, I am a traditional photographer and not a huge fan of using photoshop for major enhancements.. I mainly use it only for things I would normal do in the darkroom anyway.. cropping, color, contrast, density, burning & dodging......and flashing the paper.
