Our Clients Believe in Us

Here Is What They Are Saying

“I was very happy with the approach and results I have gotten using Boutique's high-end retouching services. They deliver great results, and besides, they are very professional."

“I loved working with BOUTiQUE!
Since I have never used a retouching studio before to finish my images, I was rather skeptical or unsure about the outcome. I must say, their approach makes it easy to outsource retouching work and not have a feeling that something might go wrong."

Our Approach to High-End Retouching

Premium Retouching services in action

Are you wondering what level of detail goes into our professional retouching workflow, and what level of dedication we put towards working on your beautiful images? Here is a time-lapse video of a high-end beauty retouch from start to finish.

This video features all steps and techniques involved in retouching natural-looking beauty portraits to the highest standard.

High-end retouching does involve a lot of manual work. More than most people expect. A high-end beauty retouch can take up to several hours to complete for the amount of dedication and care to go into every single image.

Beauty retouching and fashion retouching requires additional skills and know-how, covering the application of makeup and what clothing designers want to see in photographs. This knowledge allows our retouching studio to ensure high-quality technical standards but also fewer revisions than typical happening with lesser trained retouching agencies.

Hiring & high-end Retouching FAQ

HOW TO COMMISSION RETOUCHING WORK

We get a lot of questions, whether we are able to take retouching clients, how much our retouching services cost if we have a price list for retouching,…
As a professional retouching studio, we do not have a price list, nor will we provide a retouching price-list publicly.

The reason being, we work mostly corporate direct with photographers or ad agencies. Pricing our retouching services comes down to client requests, where images are being published, the number of similar images in a project, quality expectations, and many more.

In short, we price according to a brief on every project.

Every retouching project is unique!

Therefore, we would like to hear from you and talk about the details of your project. Our goal is to keep prices as fair as possible. In order to do so, contact us and send sample images, a brief or information about an upcoming shoot, and what you expect from us.

You will receive an estimate for your approval before retouching work is about to start.

SHOULD YOU OUTSOURCE YOUR RETOUCHING?

If you are doing your retouching by yourself, and now consider outsourcing retouching work to our studio, be aware of the additional cost this process will accompany. Should you be looking just for a cheap replacement for what you are doing, we might not be the right partner for you. That said, if you have regular photography work coming in and are making more money shooting, then outsourcing your retouching work will be beneficial to your business!

A professional retouching studio can work with you to establish a unique visual signature. We aim to work within the framework you have created for yourself over the past years.

When should you be outsourcing to a professional retouching provider?

If you want to make more money shooting
If you like working in a team
if your photo retouching skills are limited and you want to reach the next level for your business

How much does it cost to retouch a photo?

Our boutique retouching studio charges a minimum of $80 US for corporate-direct projects and a minimum of $120 for campaign images / magazine editorial images.

Keep in mind, these are entry-level fees, and the price will change depending on how much work an image or a series of images will require.

What is High-End Retouching?

High-End retouching used to be considered the highest standard of retouching in this industry of image editing. That said, nowadays, many cheap image editing providers offer services claiming to be high end, and over time, they have devalued the term of high-end retouching.

If you are looking for true high-end retouching, you better search for a premium retouching or boutique retouching studio.

What is premium Retouching?

Premium retouching means to polish already high-quality images to "perfection".

Perfect does not mean taking out every flaw, resulting in surreal-looking images, but perfectly retouched images mean overall gorgeous imagery without distractions and any retouching traces left behind.

why is high-end retouching so expensive?

Premium retouching services come with a surcharge for having very experiences retouchers work on your images.

Have A Passion For High-End Retouching

Is high end retouching different? Any magical Photoshop tricks involved? This video shows step by step how beauty portraits are polished in high-end retouching. There are no magic tricks, nor are people’s faces altered to make them look “beautiful.”

High-End Retouching is about cleaning up the face and flaws that could not have been taken care of during a shoot. The goal always should be to deliver real results that do not need to look retouched. High-end retouching does not require airbrushing or painting over the skin.

Professionals also do not use blur filter or filtering techniques in order to blend tones into each other. This image successfully shows what can be expected from a high-end retoucher when dealing with images. It illustrates the enormous time investment and hard work put into one single image as well as the importance of quality source images to deliver stunning results.

Boutique Retouching is one of the leading retouching agencies in the world!

About The High-End Retouching Workflow

Digital Photoshop Retouching Studio

Digital retouching is usually done with the application of Photoshop by Adobe. Photoshop offers every tool possible to either digitally enhance or restore images.

We do not believe in 24 hours turnaround time. Projects need time to discuss, and your images deserve all the care going into them!
In rare cases, we work with wedding photographers.

The studio is run by our CEO Daniel Hager, not Pratik naik!

We do not offer clipping paths or clipping path retouching, only photo retouching services mentioned above.

High End Retouching Actions

Every retoucher needs a set of tools. Like a painter needs not only a canvas to paint on but a brush to paint with.

Retouchers use the tools coming with Photoshop, but also 3rd party tools to accomplish their retouching work. Tools like scrips or retouching actions can help a retoucher achieve his/her goals in an efficient and precise way.

Some online photo editors may prefer lightroom presets for their portrait retouching. We do not advise this workflow to be used for your photography retouching.

Our Photoshop actions and scripts can help professional photographers to get retouching work done by themselves.

High End Retouching Techniques

Mastering retouching techniques are the foundation of beautiful images. Over the past decade, natural-looking photos have become the standard in the beauty and fashion industries. These results are only made possible by choosing the right retouching techniques.

Applying photo effects, filters, and using Frequency-Separation on the skin has become a thing of the past!
