Testimonials

It's very challenging finding a photography retoucher that meets your exacting standards – it's a subjective art and looking at portfolios can often give you a false sense of the individual's talents or taste.

Not the case with Maximimages and Alex. I found Alex several years ago when I needed a second retoucher to handle an overflow job and I've never looked back – he's done probably a hundred jobs for me since then. Always really good, always understands what I'm asking for and works collaboratively with me to get the result I'm after, always great about timelines.

I'm writing this review because Alex deserves the 5 stars, but I'm apprehensive because I selfishly want to save as much of his workload as possible for my team. He's top notch, you will not regret working with Maximimages / Alex.

MaximImages has been a trusted retouching partner for my company for several years now (2014-present). Alex's work is always excellent, timely and fairly priced. He's easy to communicate with and very accommodating when the scope of the project changes.

Working with Alex - MaximImages, has been a very easy process. We have had all our website photos done and any new product images that are requested have been extremely fast. The clarity in our crystal products and true to color representation has been incredible. We are extremely happy with the professionalism and perfection of the final images we receive :)

I’ve been using MaximImages / Alex’s retouching services since 2016. It’s difficult to find a retoucher that understands your requirements from your perspective shared in words and can translate that into retouching results. Alex however, has always been spot on with my requests and often has given me a result that was better than I could have imagined it could be at best. Great communication & always a easy process. Also, always delivered in a timely manner. I’m personally very grateful to have found Alex & cannot recommend him enough.
