Image Refinement Options | Editorial Retouching Approach

Image refinement is approached with care, restraint, and intention. No retouching is applied by default.

All refinements are optional, discussed together after the session, and selected only when requested. The goal is to support the integrity of the image while respecting the subject and the moment as captured.
