Model Retouch

Model retouching goes beyond skin — it's a full-frame correction tuned to your campaign and brand standard. Skin is retouched with frequency separation, stray hairs are removed or tamed, garment drape is corrected, and the final colour grade is matched to your creative brief. Whether you're shooting a fast-fashion lookbook or a luxury campaign, the output is consistent across the full shoot. Send three to five reference images representing your current editing standard and we'll build a dedicated style guide for your account. Starting from €3.50 per image with 24-hour delivery.

What is model retouch?

Model retouching is the professional post-processing of fashion photography featuring human models — correcting posture, wardrobe, hair, and background to produce clean, brand-consistent editorial and e-commerce imagery.

Why does it matter for e-commerce?

On-figure photography consistently outperforms flat-lay for fashion conversion rates, but requires retouching to remove shooting artefacts, garment imperfections, and environmental distractions that would otherwise require a reshoot.

Common questions

Common questions about model retouch

How is model retouching different from beauty retouching?

Model retouching is a full-frame correction — skin, hair, garment drape, background clean-up, and a colour grade matched to your campaign. Beauty retouching focuses on the face only. Both use frequency separation but model work covers the entire image.

Can you maintain consistency across 200 images from the same shoot?

Yes. We build a style guide from your reference images and apply it identically across the full shoot. Skin tone, grade, and correction level are consistent from image one to image two hundred.

Do you include colour grading as part of the retouch?

Yes. Colour grade is included in every model retouch order. Send your reference grade or Lightroom preset and we match it across the full set at no additional cost.

What briefing do you need before starting a large shoot batch?

Send 3–5 reference images that represent the look you want, your preferred grade or LUT if you have one, and any specific areas to address (stray hairs, garment issues, background). We build a style guide and send a test image for approval before processing the full batch.
