Julia Semak is a professional and super-talented photo retoucher who has her editing processes fine tuned like no other. If you've ever considered the idea of outsourcing the editing and retouching for your business, this interview will place you in the perfect position to find and hire the right person, team, company or Ai solution to suit you.
And if one thing is true about running a successful photography business and growing it effectively… it's that at some point, you will need to outsource to grow.
One of the first and simplest tasks to hand off is post-production… or editing.
That's where today's guest comes in. She is a photo retoucher who works with studio owners who are looking to let go of their editing to free up more time.
I thought it'd be great to get a better perspective from a retoucher's perspective and learn what you can do to make the transition to outsourcing seamless and less stressful.
While chatting with today's guest pre interview, she told me there are things you can do to find the right retoucher for you, how to change your process to increase efficiency by 30% in one day and how to make working with a retoucher so much easier.
We'll discuss all that and more with expert photo editor Julia Semak.
Here's some more of what we covered in the interview:
