CLASS DESCRIPTION
Create Beautiful Photos In Less Time.

One of the biggest challenges a photographer faces is the amount of time spent on retouching images. Creating a beautiful high-end finished photo requires the right tools and techniques — but the process doesn’t need to dominate your workflow.

Join international retoucher Pratik Naik, owner of Solstice Retouch, as he shares his secrets for creating beautiful photos in less time. You will also learn the business and marketing side of retouching — everything from working with clients to creative branding opportunities.

During a live photo shoot, Pratik works with photographer Felix Kunze, demonstrating how photographers and retouchers can work together to craft a final product that exceeds the expectations of both parties. You’ll learn every single step of the retouching process by watching as Pratik turns Felix’s raw photos into high-quality images.

Whether you’re a photographer who wants to present high-end final images to your clients, or you want to break into the world of retouching, Pratik will provide you with the skills necessary to be the best at your craft.

REVIEWS

Charles Spencer
This is an excellent class. Pratik is an experienced, knowledgeable, and humble instructor who makes it a point to share his workflow and techniques while maintaining a “let’s learn together” mindset that is really refreshing. Yes, he’s a talker, but that isn’t bad as he drops so much insight and information each time he opens his mouth! Pratik also patiently dispels a lot of misinformation and always explains the why behind the how or what, which is a sign of a great teacher! I put the speed on 1.5 or 1.75, pop in some earbuds, and I listen while retouching. There is a wealth of goodies here for any photographer and/or editor at any level looking to step up their game. My skills have evolved from photo shoot conceptualization to post-processing, and it’s safe to say I’ve gotten so much more than I thought I would when I purchased this course!

Harald Weinkum
It’s helpful, but boy, there is a lot of talking that doesn’t necessarily help you improve your editing. I am watching at 1.25 speed, and I wish there would be a version condensed down to the 30% where you actually learn something.

 Rob Mizell
I’m 18 minutes in and there’s more information in this course than you would expect. It’s subtle, but there are gems all through out. Probably worth more if you’ve been through a photoshoot before.
