About the studio

Our job is to make your image look like itself on its best day. Polished, natural, never overdone.

Fotosbyblaze is a Lagos-based photo retouching studio working with photographers and brands across Nigeria and worldwide. Registered as a limited liability company under the Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria, the studio operates as a serious, professional practice.

We specialize in high-end beauty and portrait retouching: frequency separation, dodge & burn, color grading, and the small compositional fixes that most people only notice when they're missing.

Every image we deliver is one we'd be proud to put in our own portfolio. That's the bar.

— Wareez Abiola Balogun, Founder
The transformation

Drag to compare

Every retouch starts with a clean RAW and ends with an image that still looks like a photograph, not a painting.

What we do

Three things, done well.

01

Beauty & Skin

Frequency separation, dodge & burn, blemish work, and skin texture preservation. Clean but believable. No plastic faces.

02

Color & Tone

Full color grading, white balance correction, and mood work. From clean editorial to cinematic warmth, matched to your brand or vision.

03

Detail & Composite

Distraction removal, background cleanup, object addition or removal, and multi-image compositing for campaigns that need more than one frame.

Rates

Three services. One standard.

No good/better/best games within a service — the price you see is the full treatment. Whether it's one beauty image or a 2,000-frame wedding gallery, the finish has to be one we'd put in our own portfolio.

Quick answers

Frequently asked

No. Fotosbyblaze works white-label: finished files carry your name, we never post or credit client work without your written permission, and we're happy to sign an NDA. As far as your clients are concerned, editing happens in-house.

Send files via Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer, or WhatsApp (as document, not image, since WhatsApp compresses regular photos). Large batches through Drive or WeTransfer are easiest.

We prefer RAW (CR2, NEF, ARW, etc.) so we can push the files as far as they'll go. High-resolution JPEGs are also fine, but they have less editing headroom. Delivery format is your choice: JPEG, TIFF, or flattened PSD.

Single images and small sets: 1 to 3 business days. Larger batches scale from there. A full wedding or editorial set usually takes 5 to 10 days depending on volume. Rush is available for an added fee when the schedule allows.

Yes. One revision round within 3 days of delivery, covering anything that falls within the original brief and the service booked. Requests that move the job into a higher tier — for example, full high-end skin work on a standard retouch — are quoted as an upgrade, not handled as a revision.

We don't do free test edits, but you can send one image at 50% of the standard rate as a paid test. It lets you see the quality and style before committing to a larger batch.

High-end beauty and editorial retouching is $25 per image ($20 each at 10+ images). Standard portrait retouching is $12 per image ($9 each at 20+). Full wedding or session gallery editing starts at $0.45 per image with a 300-image minimum, or $400/month on retainer for up to 1,000 images. Photographers in Nigeria can work with us in naira — reach us on WhatsApp for local rates.

International clients: secure card payment via payment link, or LemFi transfer. Nigerian clients: bank transfer or card. New clients: 50% deposit to start, 50% on delivery. Returning clients often work on full upfront or on invoice.
