The Charles Portrait is a 'straight photographic' portrait. I utilize the finest of retouching techniques, in just the right amounts, to remove every distraction and to appropriately idealize the subject.  

I gently re-shape areas as needed, lightly reduce the depth of wrinkles, soften skin-tones, remove blemishes, enhance eyes,  remove unsightly wrinkles from clothes, adjust overall tonalities, etc.  

It is an intensive process that results in a photographic portrait of dramatic presence and impact.
