Professional Photographers

Would you like to:

Increase your income by shooting more?
Interact with your clients more frequently?
Have less projects stuck in 'back-log mode'?
Have more time to respond to leads?
Have more time to research the latest developments in the photographic industry?
Have more time to maintain and purchase equipment?
Solidify your reputation as a photographer who delivers quality images on time?
Spend more time running your business?

At MBSTIA, we recognize that many photographers would rather do all of the above than spend time sitting in front of a computer editing images for clients' wedding albums.

A frequent wedding client complaint is that photographers take too long to finish albums for them. We'd like to offer our services to you so that you can cut down your retouching workload. Cutting down your workload ensures that you get your images and albums out to your clients on time and this will free you to gain more clients and increase your income.

HEADSHOT / MODEL PORTFOLIO / WEDDING ALBUM RETOUCH PRICING

We specialize in retouching and preparing your final images for your clients' coffee table albums, magazine style albums, 8x10 headshots, portfolio images etc. or wall prints for matting and framing and other prints to be displayed.

Included are the following services:

Acne/Blemish Removal
Facial retouching (skin brightening, softening, smoothing, shine tone down, selective color correction to town down ruddy skin areas)
Reduction of wrinkles
*Digital liposuction (smooth shape, slim arms, reduce double chin, trim stomach/bottom)
Eye & Tooth brightening
Iris enhancement
*Removal of distracting objects (people, trees, exit signs, debris, clutter, etc.)
*Eye and head swaps
Vein/Nerve appearance reduction
Hair Wisp Cleanup
Vignette
Cropping and borders
*Artistic effects such as: Cross processing, sepia, black and white, artful blurs, dreamy effects and more...

You will make back what you pay us in time saved. Our rates are $4.50 per image for bulk jobs of 20+ images. If you have less than 20 images per job, please contact us so that we may work out a rate for you.

We know that you can do all of the above yourself; however, each event you shoot creates a back-log and the stress related to this back-log means you might rush the refinement and design process which results in poorer quality work delivered to your client.

* Starred Items- Please note there is a limit of 5 head/eye swaps or clutter removal (simple clutter removal). Client must provide images from which eyes/head will be taken, along with notes. IE Use image 456 as main image and take eyes from image 460. If you have more than the alloted per 20, please contact us to get a specific quote for your job. Images that require extensive manipulation / digital liposuction will fall into regular manipulation rates of $10 per 15 mins of time.

* Starred Items- we do artful renderings if time allows. If you want specific artistic renderings done, please tell the retoucher before the job begins.

SEND US AN IMAGE AND WE WILL DO A TEST FREE OF CHARGE FOR YOU!

In order to prevent from running afoul of privacy issues (i.e. lack of model releases, photographers requesting client privacy etc.), our policy is to retouch one sample image for you in order to demonstrate our services. Email us for test image upload instructions (all file formats accepted).

HOW WE ACCEPT FILES FOR JOBS
