About me

I have been working full time for the past 3yrs as a photographic retoucher and for the past 7yrs as a freelance photographer. In this time I have gained a high level of proficiency in Adobe Photoshop which I have been using for over 10yrs. I have also been printing both digitally and silver based for over 10yrs and believe I have a very good eye for colour, tone and contrast.

Having been involved in the process of culling of CV's and interviewing applicants to take over my previous role I am also aware that one of my greatest skills is the ability to talk to and get along with people. This should be a given however when it comes to retouchers this is rarely the case.
