High-volume overseas retouching "factories" may be inexpensive, but provide extremely inconsistent results. And high-end retouchers charge up to $150 per hour and have order minimums. Send your photos here, where I do all of the work, so you'll get consistent quality at an affordable rate, and orders as small as one photo are welcome. I have experience retouching a variety of image types: fashion, lifestyle, headshots, e-commerce and editorial. Consumer clients include social-media influencers on Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook …

DARREN CONSTANTINO
I've always loved photography. Years of work in editorial management were good preparation for starting my own business in freelance photo retouching. I've had photos published by Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and Popular Photography, and sold through Getty Images, and have achieved Phlearn/Mendr Elite-Certified Retoucher status.

On a personal note, I'm a bit of an Anglophile, and my wife and I love to travel.
I look forward to helping with your images!
