Print Quality:
Regular Prints are individually color corrected and optimized for contrast by our printer in the studio. The paper surface is lustre.
Custom Prints are individually color corrected, optimized for contrast. In addition they include dodging and burning and light retouching. Paper choices are lustre, glossy and Gallery Grade Matte (addl. charges apply). The Gallery Grade Matte paper is Hahnemuhle Photorag 308 gsm.
Definition of light retouching: this includes the removal of dust spots, shine on forehead, flyaway hair etc.. We strive for a natural and clean look in the images. It does not include removal of wrinkles or any other heavy retouching.
High End Retouching Services:
We can provide certain high-end retouching to our clients, such as the removal or addition of a person or object, blending of 2 images, removal of telephone lines etc. We can also retouch skin, but here too we have a clean natural look and shy away from anything too heavy-handed or obvious. In essence we like to keep the integrity of the photograph. Please consult the studio for this and we will give you an estimate on the complexity of the work involved prior to your order. The rate for this is $150 per hour and you will be billed separately. Retouching orders should be placed in the shopping cart as a custom print and specific instructions given in the notes field at the checkout page. The studio will contact you to confirm the order with an estimate on the price of the retouching.
