Photo editing and retouching for Phoenix photographers

Retouching for Phoenix product, portrait and real estate photographers, edited remotely in Arizona time.

Phoenix work

Phoenix files carry the desert in them. Midday sun is intense for much of the year, so exteriors come in with dark shadows under covered patios, glare on stucco walls and skies bleached almost white near the horizon. Many homes have tile roofs, gravel yards with desert plants, and backyard pools, and the pool is often the hero shot. We clear pool water color, balance the sky and bring back detail in patio shadows.

Dust is the other constant. Windows and glass doors pick up a film of dust that shows as haze in window pulls, and outdoor product or portrait shoots can leave specks on lenses and sensors that only show at full size. We clean both. Indoors, homes with small windows and deep overhangs can be darker than they look in person, so flash blending and shadow lift come up often in Phoenix listing sets.

How a Phoenix job runs

  1. You send a few sample images, the full count and the look you want.
  2. We reply with questions or a written quote and a delivery date.
  3. We edit a small test set first so you can approve the recipe.
  4. The full set follows, edited to the approved test, with one round of fixes included in the quote.

Files move through shared folders or transfer links, and we book calls in Arizona time, which stays on Mountain Standard Time all year. We have no studio or office in Phoenix, and the work doesn't need one: you shoot, upload, and get edited files back.

What you can order

Questions

Do you work in Arizona time?

Yes. Arizona doesn't change its clocks, so we book calls in Mountain Standard Time all year.

Can you do twilight edits for desert homes?

Yes. A daytime exterior can be turned into a dusk image with lit windows and landscape lights, which suits the low, wide homes common in the area.

Ask for a quote

Cost depends on how much work each image needs, how many images there are and how quickly you need them back, so every job gets its own written quote.
