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."

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.

How to promote yourself as a novice retoucher - educational program from Sasha Chaldryan
Demanded retouchers don't ask where to look for customers - clients find them by word of mouth. But if you are just at the beginning of the journey, you will have to make a lot of effort and be patient. Professional retoucher and teacher Sasha Chaldryan told our author about how to competently make and package an attractive portfolio for customers, where to look for clients and how to build a reputation. nine0003
Why is it difficult for retouchers to promote their services in 2022? There are significantly more people who want to make a successful career in this area than solvent customers. The pandemic has tightened this market significantly, and 2022 has brought even more merciless changes.
But there is good news: even now, good retouchers have interesting projects, including international ones. If you are willing to work hard on your portfolio and make connections in a creative environment, you have every chance to develop in this profession. nine0003
“Now the competition is as high as ever,” says Sasha Chaldryan. - In the new reality, the strongest retouchers who love their job will remain. The market is curtailing, everything is quite complicated. Who is good, he will receive cool orders and earn good money.
How a retoucher can build a portfolio
For a portfolio, you can create your own site on Tilda or another construct, or post your work on a page on social networks.
Chaldrian advises beginners to retouch literally everything: from mountain landscapes to cars and young ladies in bathing suits. This will allow you to create a good diverse portfolio and at the same time decide in which genres you are most interested in working. nine0003
Include in your portfolio your work in the most popular areas: portraits, landscapes, subject, interior, reportage photography.
Even if you want to specialize in portraits, it's important to show potential employers that you can retouch bottles and cars too. This will allow you to earn more. After you create a base, you can diversify your portfolio in a genre that interests you.
According to Sasha Chaldryan, you will significantly increase your chances of success with clients if your portfolio is:
Impressive in size. The more diverse works and shootings you have, the more confidence a potential client has. Show your experience and abilities, this is important.
Various genres and shootings. For example, there is subject retouching, and there is beauty retouching, that is, bottles, jars, tubes. If a potential customer who deals with cosmetics comes to your page, it is important for him to know that you can retouch the bottles. Therefore, he will carefully study your work in the “subject”. nine0003
Your portfolio should be diverse in genres.
Include in your portfolio a wide variety of shooting, but do not try to be cunning.
You should not publish twenty duplicates of the same object or person with one light, only from different angles. One successful job is enough.
Before and after retouching picture. Be sure to check with the customer if you can include the source image in the portfolio along with the retouched picture. According to Sasha Chaldryan, usually no one is against it, but from the point of view of professional ethics, it is important to talk about it. nine0003
Show the result “before” and “after retouching”
— The most effective and visual presentation of “before” and “after” will be blinking on click, when a person can literally evaluate the results of your efforts in just seconds — Sasha will explain — If you have your own website , this potential can be realized using various Tilda plugins. You will have to take the time to figure this out. On Instagram, this can be done in the format of a three-second video: three seconds “before” and three seconds “after”.
— The most effective and visual presentation “before” and “after” will be blinking on click, when a person can literally evaluate the results of your efforts in just seconds — Sasha will explain — If you have your own website, this potential can be realized using various plugins on Tilda.
You will have to take the time to figure this out. On Instagram, this can be done in the format of a three-second video: three seconds “before” and three seconds “after”.
Indicating the cost of retouching per frame. However, Chaldryan himself recognizes this point as controversial, since there is a risk of selling too cheap. It is more convenient for the customer to immediately see the price tag, however, the same picture can be retouched in different ways, and this may take a different amount of time. nine0003
You can get confused and make a triptych with retouching options: long and high quality, mixed media, cheap but fast. Another option is not to indicate the cost of works in the portfolio, but to prepare a diptych or triptych with retouching options for negotiations with the client.
Multilingual. A retoucher is a remote work, and it is not at all necessary to be limited to Russian-speaking clients even now.
To visualize the cost and result of the work, you can make a triptych with different retouching options
How to format and where to promote a portfolio
In addition to a website or Instagram page, Sasha Chaldryan recommends formatting a portfolio as a PDF file. This will be needed for negotiations with the customer. For example, a client is interested in retouching cars, and you can send him a part of the portfolio with only car shots.
Where to place a portfolio? Literally everywhere you can reach:
On your pages in social networks. The advantage will be for those who actively communicate and have a lot of subscribers. The more people see your work, the more likely it is that your potential customer will be among them. nine0003
In professional photographers' and retouchers' publics.
There are a lot of them, especially VKontakte. Look for, evaluate their activity, use every opportunity to show yourself.
Create an account with major service aggregators. These are freelance.ru, profi.ru and many others.
And of course, keep practicing and adding to your portfolio regularly.
Where can a beginner retoucher look for customers?
This is the most difficult question, which photography and retouching gurus are extremely reluctant to answer. For many years on the market, any prominent specialist acquires its own client base, providing it with stable orders. It will take a long way to get there. Here is what Sasha Chaldryan advises her students:
Look for orders on freelance exchanges. Not only to place your portfolio there, but also to be active yourself, monitor offers every day. We must be prepared for the fact that 90% of customers at these sites have very modest budgets.
- With good orders, the situation is the same as with attempts to rent a good apartment on CYAN, the best options are torn off with your hands in minutes - Sasha explains - Therefore, it is important to keep your finger on the pulse and move.
Even if you don't get cash clients, this is a good opportunity to add to your portfolio and gain negotiation experience. nine0003
Participate in creative contests. Anyone, even with symbolic prizes. You must show yourself as often as possible.
Meet the photographers. This is a recommendation for those who only do retouching and do not take pictures themselves. If this is a sought-after specialist and he has a constant flow of clients, he will provide you with orders. You can get such acquaintances in professional publics and at creative competitions.
Develop your personal brand. It's not just your portfolio that needs to be admired. Even if you only meet with your clients on Zoom, they shouldn't have any questions about your appearance. They are greeted by clothes, do not forget about it. nine0003
Develop your personal brand, remember that “the clothes match”.
— Try to communicate more in a professional environment so that word of mouth works for you, says Sasha.
- Believe me, you will not find better orders than on the personal recommendations of the people who worked with you. “Vasya, I have a cool retoucher, he takes expensive, works efficiently” - when they start talking about you like that, consider that you have taken place in the profession.
Want to learn more about retouching that pays you well? Sign up for Sasha Chaldryan's course "Commercial retouching", where you will master the full cycle of High-End retouching, which is in demand in advertising and glossy magazines. You will learn how to quickly evaluate sources and everything that needs to be retouched, select the necessary tools in Adobe Photoshop. At the end of the course, you will have a ready-made set of solutions for problems of the highest level of complexity. nine0003
