Exceptionally good experience, excellent communication, two merged photographs look entirely natural and work completed within less than 24 hours of contact. Perfect quality and very reasonable charge, would certainly use again. Highly recommended.

We met Stephen at a networking event, it was my daughter’s first time and he made her feel at ease. He explains everything well and even shows you the positions he is looking for 🙂 I would highly recommend Stephen, my daughter loves working with him.

Great shoot from start to finish. The photographer really understands angles, lighting, and how to capture strong model shots. Felt comfortable, well-directed, and the final edits were clean and high quality. Definitely someone I’ll be working with again

I asked Stephen to look over a photo of myself that I wasn't keen on for years after it was taken. He got back to my message very quickly, and came back with the image sorted quickly too. Not only that but for his time and expertise I think the price is very reasonable. I will not hesitate to use Stephen again for future projects. Thank you!

Great service. Stephen was super quick and fixed a photo I loved but lighting/clarity was terrible. Highly recommend if you need a photo edited.

Excellent quality service. I wanted a photograph edited and e-mailed the original 12 noon. I received the edited version 9.30 am the following morning and was delighted with the result.
Steve was pleasant, helpful and gave me good advice. I would highly recommend him.

I was struggling to find a photo editor to edit some studio photos by changing the colour of my models outfits to match my desired material colour (Pantone) as well as make a few tricky changes to a high standard and just by chance Steve’s website happened to pop up on one of my many google searches and I’m so lucky that it did!

Steve was quick to reply, kind, understood my needs, gave honest feedback, fairly priced and produced edits that surpassed my expectations. With a very quick turnaround. If I manage to launch my brand I’ve already found myself my go to photo editor! Thanks again Steve!

We are incredibly happy with the result! The photographer merged two wedding photos for us, and it looks completely natural - like it was one photo from the beginning, not two separate images at all. The turnaround was also very fast, which we really appreciated. Beautiful work and a great experience overall. Highly recommend!

Went to my son’s graduation and for some reason we forgot to get a picture together with both parents in it. Contacted Stephen, excellent communication and good price. Sorted the photo out by editing two pictures and sent proof. Photo was excellent, couldn’t have been happier. Once confirmed easy payment method and photo provided. Would use again 100%. Thanks Alan

Absolutely outstanding service! Steve did exactly what I requested with incredible precision. The turnaround time was impressively fast, communication was smooth, and the final results were better than I could have imagined.

I needed some photos altered for a wedding album and asked Stephen if he could help. I didn't really think they could be done but Stephen did an amazing job and had them back to me so quickly! So happy with the results, I would highly recommend Stephen and definitely wouldn't look anywhere else if I need more fixed up. Thanks again!!

FAQ

How much do you charge per hour?

My hourly rate is £29 for photo editing and manipulation. It is often cheaper to book work in at a fixed rate where I can cap the costs for you.

What do I need to provide?

If you are a professional then the RAW files if you have access to it. If not the original image from the camera with no compression or resizing. I can provide you with an upload area if the image is too large for an email. I will also need all accompanying assets needed to complete the work.

How much can I expect to pay?

Without seeing the image and the work required it is impossible to give a set price for all work. Usually, simple retouching takes 15-20 minutes per image and heavier manipulations such as removing large objects or people from an image can take over 2 hours. Please contact me to send me samples images and then I can give you a price.

What format can I provide final artwork in?

Final artwork can be provided in almost all formats, I always conduct non-destructive work so you will also have the original sent back. I also provide photoshop training if you need to learn yourself.
