About

As you would expect, Kyle Mitchell Retouching has worked for many of the most prestigious fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands across the globe. Being based in New York City has also allowed us to work with some of the world’s most creative photographers. While we continue to collaborate with several of New York’s finest retouching studios, our proudest achievement is our alumni, the next generation of retouchers and image makers that we have inspired, mentored and taught.

Experience counts…and needs to be passed on. It is not simply about learning technology skills, it is about developing visual skills. Instead of following short-term industry trends, Kyle Mitchell Retouching leads with long-term aesthetic techniques. Artistic techniques tried and tested over centuries have taken us from correcting photographs to truly connecting through authentic images - that’s why they call us the Master Retoucher’s Studio.

From pre-consultation to post-production, our comprehensive services and creative sensibility ensure your brand image reflects your desired narrative, through color and form as much as content, in the most immediate and engaging way.

Why not learn how our expertise can enhance your image, improve your skills, or even save you time and money? Creating a better future for all.

High-End Retouching

For us, it is not merely about removing the unnecessary. Like a sculptor, it is all about the nuance of the figure, how the image moves the viewer - a creative aesthetic with a three dimensional, tactile feel. It all starts with the brand, not just a given photograph, as every brand brings something unique to the work, a profound meaning enhanced through light and colour. 

Educational Workshops

Skills and experience really count in meeting short term deadlines in all our commercial work. But Kyle Mitchell Retouching also shares its unique skills and creative sensibility through hands-on educational workshops - enhancing individuals, their brands, and industry standards over the longer term. These workshops are of particular value to in-house retouchers in developing a recognizable brand image across projects.

Direction & Quality Control

Each project necessarily involves a lot of people, from internal departments through agency management, production and creatives, to the photographer and retoucher at the end of the line. It is hardly surprising that original intentions and ideas can get lost. That’s why we make ourselves available throughout the process, from initial consultation to final image; from immersing ourselves in your world through to a simple call direct to the artist; thus ensuring your image comes to life.
