Retouching Food Photography
Take your food photos to the next level using easy Photoshop retouching techniques (in minutes not hours)
Enhancing a photo without making it look fake is a skill.
It can take your images to the next level.
What if you didn’t have to lose that winning shot because of a tiny imperfection?
JUST IMAGINE…
Retouching wasn’t difficult and didn’t take you hours, or even days! You could easily remove the ugly parts without losing texture.
You could create what you had in your mind and didn’t have to settle for something you love less.
You didn’t have to pay someone to retouch your images for you, but instead you could charge your clients more for a premium retouching service.
Your images weren’t rejected because of oil spots you couldn’t remove.
You could easily clone the whipped cream on top of your hot chocolate and make the colour of your egg yolks consistent.
Let’s…Make an image look flawless.
We hear your frustrations!
“My images were rejected due to distractions and oil spots I couldn’t remove.”
“No one might notice, but not being able to remove that hair is driving me crazy.”
“I tried to change it in Lightroom, but it looked worse!”
“I live in a small town and cannot always find the best looking and most fresh fruits and vegetables. There's always blemishes.”
Have you ever been proud of an image only to start editing and notice a reflection, crack or a hair? It’s deflating!
Retouching delivers a higher quality of work.
