The true art of photographic retouching

the benefits to you may be image that excels and not to just exist.

Digital technology today enables the expert photo re-toucher to make a " silk purse out of a sow's ear"!, as the old saying goes.
 
That is perhaps a little flippant, but to the highly trained re-toucher such as Dean Butler, it provides a further dimension in the skill and creativity often required to bring out true features.
 
Dean Butler is as at home cleaning up a 100 year old black and white print as he is the face of a model who perhaps should have gone to bed earlier the night before !
 
Photo manipulation as it is now known, Dean to change colours within seconds, to harden or soften lines, take out lumps and bumps, and to provide a perfect picture of something that perhaps only has one viewing to gain a successful outcome.
 
A client in the restaurant business said:" Dean made a dish of food that had been standing for a while look as though it had only just been produced.
 
"He is a real master at ensuring a product or service always looks photographically at its ultimate best".
