Get a Free Test Edit View PortfolioFood has to look fresh and appetising the instant it loads. Every image is retouched by hand for a premium, true-to-life finish that sells.
Fresh, vibrant food that drives orders.
Crumbs, spills and distractions removed.
Every dish matched for a cohesive menu look.
Ice melts, herbs wilt, sauce dulls and cheese sets. The shot you got is rarely the shot the dish deserved, and retouching is where that gap closes.
Wilted herbs are revived, dried edges rebuilt, and gloss restored to sauces and glazes so the dish looks as it did in the first thirty seconds under the lights.
Greens, reds and browns are the appetite colours, and cameras dull all three. We correct them to look appetising while staying true to what the kitchen actually serves.
Crumbs, drips, fingerprints on plates and stray reflections are removed. Garnish and portion placement can be adjusted so every plate in a menu run matches.
Backgrounds, props and steam are cleaned or enhanced, then a second retoucher checks the set for consistent white balance, crop and plate scale.
Delivery apps, menus, packaging and social — each needs a different crop and a different level of polish.
Food brands usually pair this with colour correction, background removal and shadow creation, delivered ready for Amazon or Shopify. Large shoots often start with photo culling to cut the set down before editing, and campaign work runs through catalog & lookbook retouching.
Priced per image and published openly, rather than quoted on request. E-commerce product retouching runs $1 – $4 per image. Colour correction runs $0.50 – $2.
Where you land inside a band is set by complexity, monthly volume and turnaround — nothing else. Standard turnaround is 24–48 hours and carries no premium. Your exact figure is confirmed after the free test, not before. Full bands, with euro and sterling equivalents, are on the pricing page.
Below roughly 500 images a month a high-volume studio is usually the wrong choice, including this one.
Yes — colour, contrast and freshness enhancement is the heart of food retouching, kept natural and appetising.
We remove crumbs, drips and stray garnish for clean, professional plating.
Yes — packaging labels and surfaces are cleaned and colour-corrected for retail and delivery apps.
Yes — 5 images, retouched free, no commitment.
Yes, within reason. Wilted herbs, dried edges and dulled sauces can be recovered, and gloss rebuilt. If a dish has genuinely collapsed we will tell you rather than return something that looks artificial.
That is the line we hold. We make the dish look its best on its best day, not like a different product. Advertising food that cannot arrive as pictured creates complaints, not sales.
Yes. These can be cleaned, rebuilt or added, matched to the light direction in your original frame so they read as photographed rather than pasted on.
Standard turnaround is 24 to 48 hours. Menu-wide shoots are scheduled in batches at an agreed daily volume, with rush delivery for campaign deadlines.
No. We correct and refine — we never generate. Every image is retouched by hand, frame by frame, and that includes frames a client generated themselves before sending them to us: we take those to catalogue standard rather than making new ones. Your files never pass through a generative tool, and they are never used as training data for any model.
