BEFORE /AFTER

This project includes a collection of before and after photos showcasing my photo editing skills (slide the arrow back and forth to view). My goal is to demonstrate the transformation of ordinary photos into stunning, professional images through my manual editing techniques (and most importantly without the use of AI). Whether it's removing distracting elements, people or backgrounds, recreating parts of a photo, color correcting, retouching blemishes, or enhancing and restoring old photos to give them a professional and polished look, I aim to help individuals and businesses improve the quality and appeal of their images for a variety of purposes.
