Headshots Editing

A headshot has one job: to present the subject as a credible, professional version of themselves. Over-retouching undermines that — overly smooth skin, altered features, and heavy digital processing make a corporate headshot look unconvincing and a modeling composite card unusable. Our standard is clean, natural, and commercially strong.

We retouch headshots for executives, professionals, actors, models, and brand teams. Series consistency — so a set of 20 headshots from one shoot all match in tone, exposure, and retouching level — is a core part of what we deliver.

Headshot skin retouching removes temporary blemishes, redness, and surface marks while preserving natural skin texture. Pores, fine lines, and natural facial structure should remain visible. The subject should look like themselves — composed and professional, not digitally processed.

We retouch to a natural standard as default. If a client requires a higher-retouched editorial look, we adjust to that brief explicitly — it is not applied without instruction.

Corporate teams and agencies often require headshots to match a specific template — same crop, same aspect ratio, same placement of the face within the frame. We apply consistent cropping across entire sets so every image integrates cleanly into a website, report, or media kit without needing individual adjustment.

Studio lighting and flash create reflections on lenses that can obscure the eyes and unbalance the composition. We remove glare cleanly while preserving the frame, the natural appearance of the lenses, and the eyes behind them. The result should be invisible — no trace of the correction visible in the final image.
