Many people assume professional headshot retouching is only available if the photographer took the photo. That’s not the case here.
Headshots LA proudly offers standalone headshot retouching services. If your image was taken by another photographer, on location, in a studio, or even years ago, you can still submit it for professional retouching.
We work with:
If the image is technically sound, we can elevate it.
In industries where first impressions are made in seconds, image quality directly affects perception. Casting directors, agents, recruiters, and clients view thousands of photos — small details matter.
Professional headshot retouching helps:
An unretouched or poorly retouched headshot can unintentionally communicate carelessness, inexperience, or misalignment with your industry.
At Headshots LA, retouching is never about changing who you are. We focus on authentic enhancement, not artificial perfection.
Our approach prioritizes:
Over-retouching can damage credibility, especially in acting and professional environments. We retouch with restraint and intention.
Each retouched headshot includes professional adjustments such as:

Your image will still look like you — just sharper, cleaner, and more professional.
For actors, headshot retouching must respect casting realities. Casting directors expect honesty. Retouching should support believability, not mask it.
Actor headshot retouching focuses on:
We retouch with casting platforms and agent expectations in mind, ensuring your image remains truthful and submission-ready.
Business headshots serve a different purpose. They must communicate trust, competence, and approachability.
Business headshot retouching emphasizes:
Whether for LinkedIn, company websites, press features, or speaking engagements, professional retouching ensures your image aligns with your professional brand.
Modeling digitals and creative portraits require honesty and restraint. Agencies expect clarity, accuracy, and simplicity.
Our retouching for models focuses on:
Digitals should look real — not stylized or overworked.
If you submit multiple photos, we can ensure visual consistency across your set. This is especially valuable for actors, executives, and creatives who need cohesive branding.
Consistency includes:
This helps your images work together rather than compete visually.
If your image isn’t suitable for professional retouching, we’ll tell you honestly.
