Every photo I deliver includes basic editing, such as colour correction, distraction removal (like fire exit signs, scratches, or unsightly bins - only when necessary), and a touch of magic to make the image really pop. However, if you require specific or extensive retouching, such as detailed skin edits, background changes, or custom adjustments, we can definitely discuss that! I'll provide a quote based on the time and complexity of the work to ensure your vision comes to life exactly how you want it.
