My name is Yulia Gukova.
I’m a commercial retoucher.
I work with beauty shots, e-commerce products, and apparel for catalogs, image shoots, and advertising campaigns.
My specialty is clean, careful retouching that preserves natural texture, color, and shape. I work attentively with skin, materials, light, and detail, strictly following the technical brief and the brand’s visual guidelines.
I’ve worked on commercial projects for major retail, beauty, and e-commerce brands, as well as digital services.
Confidentiality is something I take particularly seriously: I never share unreleased campaign materials with third parties or upload them to third-party AI services — this matters a lot to brands working with releases that haven’t been announced yet.
Precision, consistent quality, and timelines matter to me. I value clear communication and structure my process so the result is predictable and meets the project’s needs.
If you have a project or a question, get in touch — we’ll discuss the details and timeline of working together.
Questions & Answers
How is the retouching price calculated?
The cost depends on the type of image, the number of shots, and the complexity of the work. Send me the source files and a technical brief — I’ll assess the scope and give you an exact quote before any work begins.
How long does retouching take?
Turnaround depends on complexity and the number of photos. Before we start, we agree on a deadline, and I stick to it.
Can we start with just one test shot?
Yes. If it matters to you to see upfront whether our styles and vision align, we can begin with a single test image and, once approved, move on to the full series.
I don’t know how to write a proper brief. What should I do?
No problem at all. Just describe the result you’re after in your own words, and I’ll help shape it into a clear brief and clarify the important details before we start.
Can I send references?
Yes, and I recommend it. References help pin down the exact level of retouching, color, light, skin texture, degree of naturalness, and overall mood you’re going for.
Can I request revisions?
Of course. Once you receive the finished images, you can share feedback and I’ll make the agreed adjustments. If new requests come up that weren’t part of the original brief, their scope and cost are discussed separately.
Do you publish clients' photos in your portfolio?
Only with your permission. If a project is confidential or publication isn’t allowed, I won’t use the materials in my portfolio or on social media.
