Photoshop Touchups/Elevation

​

My work: skilled, natural headshot touchups that fix the capture. Too many headshots have smudges under the eyes or flattened dynamics. 

​

You deserve a photograph that radiates and captures the life, light, and depth you bring as a person.

​

My philosophy: It's possible to touch up a photo and keep the subject human. My work philosophy is also body- and skin-positive. I only do work that fixes photos/captures, as I don’t believe people need fixing. You’re all stunners.

​

A note on inclusion: Your natural skin color is part of what makes you beautiful and part of what makes you you. I intentionally train in photoshop work for people of color to honor the tones they radiate in life and work to bring that truth out in my photo work.

​

It started when my own headshots were blown out, and my skin lost its warmth, its depth - its color. I was lightened in a way that didn't match life. I wanted my skin back. Conversely, my friends with lighter skin will often be bronzed or coppered to a gold-wash - they're flattened, and that's not really true, either.

​

In my art, I believe we can have photo work that shows a glow on our skin while upholding the depth and richness of our true color.
