About The Retoucher Studio

Since 2015, The Retoucher Studio has been helping fashion labels, photographers, and eCommerce teams across North America elevate their visuals. We’re a Montreal-based photo retouching studio known for delivering editorial-level polish at production scale. No extra hires. No chasing freelancers. Just clean, consistent work that’s ready for print or web.
We are built for creative people and brands across the US, California and Canada

Our Story (and Why Clients Stick Around)

After four years in commercial photography, Maya N. shifted full-time into retouching in 2015. She launched the studio shortly after arriving in Montreal in 2013, bringing with her a Master’s degree in photography and a clear vision for high-end image editing.
Today, we’re a women-owned photo retouching studio of four full-time retouchers. Each one trained under our team manager’s workflows, which means every image follows the same standards, tools, and workflow. Whether you’re a new or returning client, your results always feel intentional, enhanced, and on-brand.

What We Believe: Your Time Is Profit

Retouching matters but let’s face it, it’s time-consuming. That’s where we come in.
Need to cover for someone on vacation? Hit a seasonal rush? We make it easy to get extra help without hiring in-house. And instead of managing a full team, you’ll be in touch directly with Maya—our senior retoucher and project manager. Feedback stays focused, turnaround stays fast, and nothing slips through the cracks.

Our work has appeared in campaigns for Lululemon, Frank & Oak, Aldo, Desjardins, Auto Trader, Wrangler, and WANT Les Essentiels.
