About us

The Retouchers is a London based creative retouching house specialising in stills post production for Film & TV, Sports, Advertising and Editorial.

We became independent in the first lockdown working from the corner of a bedroom. Since that time, the agency has grown to 4 dedicated people on a full time basis and 2 partnered artists. We have grown from one client, to being the go-to agency for all of the UK's TV networks for their retouching needs. Our advertising clients have grown with our most recent client win trusting us with their biggest client - Highland Spring.
We treat our team with respect (we don't call our team "a family" because that mindset is archaic and bollocks), as should everyone, but our ideology is based on being employed to do the job to the best of our ability, not just the time spent. This makes our team more focused and dedicated to their art and also means that downtime is extremely relaxed.
One of our biggest wins, however, is profoundly and positively impacting the retouching industry by helping to establish 2 retouching categories for the D&AD Awards - making the industry recognise retouching on a global stage for the first time.
In this context, our company mission is to give a voice and forum for artists who have, for the most part, been only ever viewed as lowly technicians.
Furthermore, our vision is to bring brands and productions to life in the simplest way possible. From complex compositing to create images, through to colour grading that affect emotions, our advice is as valuable as our technical skills.

As well as post production we are often involved in pre production meetings to ensure that the right shots are captured in the right way for subsequent key art and visuals, thus saving time and money.

The Retouchers stay current with industry trends and the ever-growing expectations of audiences for high-quality production values, delivering stunning images to bring your vision to life.

Founder and Creative Director, Vahakn Vorperian, is a leading light in the stills post production industry, having spent the over a decade working with some of the biggest global clients, including Disney, Nike, Sky, Netflix, Channel 4, BBC, ITV, BT, Sony and Sony PlayStation to name but a few. Previously represented by global retouching houses Saddington & Baynes and Happy Finish, he was one of the first in the industry to incorporate CGI in stills post production and is recognised in Lürzer’s 200 Best Digital Artists Worldwide 2021/22, 2023/24 and 2024/25 and a finalist in the Martin Evening Excellence in Digital Retouching Awards for 3 years in a row. In addition, he has been selected as a judge for the prestigious D&AD Awards.
