IS YOUR EDITING STYLE TRUE TO COLOR?


Yes! My style is characterized by true-to-color tones, fine art influences, and a timeless, sophisticated aesthetic. I focus on creating images that blend creativity with luxury, resulting in an editorial look that transcends trends. The goal is to capture photographs that remain beautiful and relevant across any era, exuding elegance and refinement.

HOW MUCH DO YOU EDIT YOUR PHOTOS?


Great question! I'd say 70% of the way my photos look comes down to the way I edit them. Each photo receives basic color correction, cropping, lighting adjustment, etc. in addition to some skin correction. I also use a custom preset to give the vibe you see in my portfolio, warm and a bit moody.

DO YOU DELIVER RAW FILES?


Under no circumstances will raw files be delivered. Sending out Raw images is sending unfinished product that is not an accurate representation of my work.
