Enhancement/retouching:

Some studio sessions do require some form of retouching, like High school senior, fashion and glamour sessions. Color correction is included with all my digital portraits. At Henrico Photo you have the choice of 2 levels of retouching, basic and deluxe. Basic retouching includes minor skin touch up; removal of blemishes and background cleanup.

Deluxe retouching includes skin touch up, removal of blemishes, minor enhancement of hair, eyes, mouth and teeth. Also included is background clean up, minor facial sculpture and soft focusing if desired.

For a small fee additional individual enhancement may include glasses glare, stray hair removal, small object removal and scare removal, as well as minor repair or cleaning of damaged clothing.

Restoration:

Do you have old photographs that you treasure, family portraits passed on from generations or that old house your mom and dad used to live in, where you grew up as a child? We all have those old photos and sometimes they end up with stains or rips. I can restore your precious memories into new ones, leaving your originals untouched.

The digital process of retouching is scanning the original into the computer, retouching and finally the new print. Your original photos are only needed for a few minutes when they are scanned into the computer at my studio, while you wait, so you are not left without them for a long period of time.

For large photos, or photos that are fragile when removed out of the frame, I can photocopy the subject while framed. This is also possible for paintings and other objects you would like to have photographed.

There is an additional fee for this since it requires a special lighting and photography setup at my studio.
