Who uses photo retouching

Every actor on TV or in movies and every model with photos in magazines, national print, on billboards, and across the internet. The actors and actresses you watch every day had experts retouch their headshots so they could achieve success.

Models, musicians, even real estate agents-if you use images of yourself to promote your profession or talents, retouching is the proven way to show your best and get an edge over the competition.

What Motive Retouching does

We provide professional photo retouching. Our speed is unparalleled, with most orders completed in 2-3 business days. Our prices, at just $25 for Standard retouching, fit even the slimmest budget. Our goal is your complete satisfaction, or we'll do the job again or refund your money. We are made for the starving actor's budget.

Just because other people or companies have the software we use doesn't mean they have our mastery of it or our in-depth knowledge of the entertainment industry. A non-professional can create errors or image inconsistencies deemed unforgivable in the eyes of casting directors. Gain confidence and professionalism. At Motive Retouching, we perfect your headshot so you can perfect your career.

Why use Motive over your photographer?

* Experience. We are professionally trained retouchers; this is our living and has been for years. Let the photographers take their photos, and let the professional retouchers do the retouching.
* Price. Photographers charge a hefty fee to retouch images themselves, or they charge you a middleman fee and just send the images to photo labs or to us. Why not save your money?
* Speed. We complete most orders in 2-3 business days, and we don't have to schedule retouching around photo shoots.
* Accuracy. You're talking directly to us, the retouchers. It's much smoother than talking to photographers, then hoping they gave the retouchers the right instructions.
* Money back guarantee. Try getting your money back from a photographer if you don't like the retouching.

Why use Motive over the photo labs?

* Honest pricing. We're not trying to "up sell" you with printing, different types of cardstock, or special retouching tactics like the big guys. We do retouching and retouching only, and because we don't have the overhead of larger places (thank you, internet), you get a consistent and reliable price. If you want something special done to your images, you tell us, not the other way around.
* Price. Professional headshot retouching at only $25 per image. Most photo labs charge more just to say the word "retouching." They have high overhead costs to cover. We don't. So you don't.
* Convenience. No need to leave your house after a tough day of work and auditions. Just upload your images, tell us what you want, and check back in a couple days. Images ready, no gas or time wasted. Considering LA traffic, this is a big deal.
* Professionalism. Our guys used to work for the photo labs (until we decided to found this company). So you're getting the same service with us that you would with them.
