About this collection
High-end retouching is about restraint, not just removal. I use dodge and burn techniques to enhance your natural contours and skin depth rather than airbrushing your identity away. When we shoot, I walk you through my lighting setup so you know exactly how the camera will highlight your best angles before we even take the first frame.
My approach to beauty photography relies on a combination of professional gear and a deep understanding of facial structure. Whether you are a makeup artist looking to build a portfolio or an individual wanting a striking set of portraits, the process starts with light.
I use a professional 3-point lighting setup with Godox strobes and modifiers to craft a look that is soft yet defined. This setup creates depth, ensuring your features pop against the background without harsh, unflattering shadows. My studio in Bengaluru, located at Jnana Ganga Nagar, is designed specifically for this—I have 400+ unique backdrops and props to ensure your session feels custom-built to your aesthetic.
When it comes to retouching, my goal is honesty. I focus on signature edits that include color grading and skin texture retention. You receive approximately 100+ color-corrected proofs for selection, and I then apply detailed, high-end retouching to your chosen favorites. This process takes about 7 to 10 working days, ensuring every image is polished for print or social media. If you are working with a specific makeup artist, I am happy to coordinate with them beforehand to ensure the lighting complements their work perfectly.
