Photography & retouching for print & web
Heard the phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words“? If your images look like they were shot on a cheap camera phone on a dreary day (on a slant, and with a dirty lens for good measure), don’t expect those words to be good! People notice images.

While this may not get you sued in court, it can be enough to cause you major problems with your hosting provider, and harm your Google search ranking.
