Portrait photographer and media production freelancer based in Vancouver, at your service: a registered member with the Professional Photographers of Canada (PPOC: British Columbia region).

The lighting styles in my portraiture work are designed using multiple points speedlight flash with reflectors and modifiers (i.e. generally keylight softboxed).

Controlling the dynamic between light and shadow in front of the camera is top priority above all else. The 'Artificial Intellgence (A.I.)' or 'Liquify' type of image modification tools (and other time-saving shortcut software equivalents) are forbidden in my post-processing workflow, as are all amateur quality skin complexion or body shape 'enhancement filter' photo editing apps (e.g. TikTok, Instagram, FaceTune, etc.) on mobile devices.

(i.e. Insisting that retouching finished photos be re-edited by such amateur editing methods is a working relationship non-starter and non-negotiable, unfortunately.)
