Professional and Ethical Image Processing and Photo Editing for Photojournalism, Documentary Photography and Art Photography
Real Humans in the AI Era
At Jason Houge Studios we believe in using the right tool for the job. We also believe in maintaining the integrity of the work produced by the artists, documentary photographers and photojournalists we work with. We’re real people, located right here in the United States, working for you. We believe in taking an ethical approach to photo editing and image processing. This means for photojournalism and Documentary work that we abide by the ethics established by organizations such as the World Press Photo, American Society of Media Photographers and the National Press Photographers Association.
Mastering software is complicated but getting your work to look how you want shouldn’t be.
Professional Experience and Proficiencies
We have over 30 years of experience working with Adobe Photoshop and nearly 20 years of experience using Adobe Camera RAW for image processing. Our process is collaborative, we work to get to know you and your needs to ensure we meet your expectations. Our workflow is print aligned; we work with a fully calibrated color system and output at sizes intended for print. If you intend to use the images online, be sure to inform us when communicating and we’ll adjust our output process to accommodate.
Please note: to maintain greater control over our digital workflow and organization, we do not work with Adobe Lightroom.
