Rachel + Matt Korinek – Retouching Food Photography

Enhancing a photo without making it look fake is a skill.
It can take your images to the next level.
You too can create commercial quality images for your clients in less time.

Effective techniques that take minutes not hours.
What if you didn’t have to lose that winning shot because of a tiny imperfection?
JUST IMAGINE…

Retouching wasn’t difficult and didn’t take you hours, or even days! You could easily remove the ugly parts without losing texture.

You could create what you had in your mind and didn’t have to settle for something you love less.

You didn’t have to pay someone to retouch your images for you, but instead you could charge your clients more for a premium retouching service.

Your images weren’t rejected because of oil spots you couldn’t remove.

You could easily clone the whipped cream on top of your hot chocolate and make the colour of your egg yolks consistent.

Make an image look flawless.
We hear your frustrations!

“My images were rejected due to distractions and oil spots I couldn’t remove.”

“No one might notice, but not being able to remove that hair is driving me crazy.”

“I tried to change it in Lightroom, but it looked worse!”

“I live in a small town and cannot always find the best looking and most fresh fruits and vegetables. There’s always blemishes.”
Have you ever been proud of an image only to start editing and notice a reflection, crack or a hair? It’s deflating!

I pitched my first product photography job just knowing I was going to enrol in the course, Rachel’s courses are that good. The course allowed me to produce a professional quality shot and the final photo exceeded the clients expectations.

From zero Photoshop skills to getting paid to take this photo, the course didn’t let me down.

This class helped me take my retouching game to the next level. I’ve been working in Photoshop for a long time and no stranger to the tools. But this class showed me how to use the tools in ways I was unaware. Now these methods are ones I practice every day – like using a low flow in my clone stamp, navigating the “patch” tool, and color range selection.

My methods of retouching my food photography are better and I’m faster at it. I’m thrilled I took this class!
