Clutch: My fellow actors, the bar has been raised. Look at other actors' headshots: at agencies, printing houses, casting workshops, and online. With increasing regularity, they've all been retouched. Clearly, when it comes to putting your best out there, you can't afford to not retouch your photos. But if you're like me, the question is "can I afford to retouch my photos?" In the right hands, retouching makes a good photo great |

| WHY CHOOSE CLUTCH RETOUCH? |
• I want you to be ecstatic with the results, and I will take my time to do the job right. I spend a bare minimum of 30-60 minutes retouching a photo, plus the time it takes to communicate via email, prepare invoices, and convert and send files. For good retouching work, that is a bargain by the hour! • Every modification to your photo is kept in a separate 'layer', which is 100% customizeable. Any changes I make can be tweaked quickly at your request and sent back for your approval. • I keep your files on my hard drive (and secure online backup) indefinitely. Let's say six months from now you need to print up new headshots, but you have a few more changes you'd like done. Piece of cake, you won't even have to resend your files, and you'll get a return-customer discount. • In addition to all the retouching elements I've mentioned, I can also crop and format your headshot to your liking, which includes adding your name in a font of your choosing in an aesthetically-pleasing manner. If you've ever dealt with setup fees and the proofing process at headshot printing houses in this regard, you'll definitely appreciate this service! • I offer volume discounts that start after your second headshot, making it easy for actors to present their agents with a handful of beautifully-retouched options, or as is common in this digital casting age, to have a half-dozen great-looking photos in their online profiles (for just over $100). • I make life easier by working almost entirely online: email and Paypal eliminate the need for in-person transactions and driving. For this reason, although I am based in Los Angeles, I have clients from all over the country. If for some reason you prefer, or need, to handle things in person, that can be arranged (I live in Toluca Lake). [rates and information] |

| HEADSHOTS vs "GLAMOUR" SHOTS If you need headshots retouched, you probably know that being "true to reality" is important. If the photo you hand a casting director really doesn't look like you, then you are just wasting everybodys' time, including your own. This is why my focus and technique is on making you look your best while still looking like *you* Having said that, I am able to enhance muscle size/definition, grow or reduce body parts, change hair and eye color, airbrush and smooth skin, and so on. If you have a need for that level of retouching I'd be willing to give you an estimate. WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? If you've looked at my work and decided you'd like an estimate, email me your photo(s) and describe what you'd like done. I can also do a variety of graphic design including, but not limited to, postcards and business cards. Further instructions and prices can be found on the rates and details page. |
