The age of the digital camera has opened up new vistas in imaging that were the stuff of 'blue sky' sessions among futurists when computers moved out of university laboratories and into our living rooms back in the '80s. As if in a Pavlovian response, we automatically think of post-processing in Photoshop as an integral component of photography. But it's not. I approach this phase with the same degree of attention and professionalism I bring to the photo shoot. To this end, I've trained with masters of the craft in New York and Los Angeles to bring you, the client, high-quality retouching -- without having to travel all the way to the coast(s). Here are a couple of YouTube videos briefly demonstrating the process:
