About me

I have been a professional digital retoucher working in the publishing industry for the last 13 years. I have

extensive knowledge of high end photo retouching and have worked on many premium magazines, editorial content

and worked with many clients such as Berghaus, Loreal the BBC and Channel 4. I also studied fine art photography

at the Glasgow school of art and have won awards internationally and nationally for my landscape photography.

I take great pride in my working practice and always endeavor to work efficiently to the highest of standards while

maintaining quality throughout.

I am fully experienced in working closely with art directors , photographers and editors giving creative

input and taking precise direction under tight deadlines. I can complete complex compositions intuitively and

quickly and have an eye for detail and colour, combined with a good knowledge of composition and perspective. I

have extensive experience with fashion and cosmetic retouching having worked on many premium magazines and

supplements where quality, attention to detail and creating a 'wow' factor is essential.

I am also skilled in creating conceptual artwork, complex manipulation and ability to compose multiple

files/elements quickly. Being an experienced photographer I understand workflow from capture to print, how to get

the most from equipment and software to take a idea from concept to reality.

I have a strong understanding of colour theory, relevant printing considerations and comprehensive

experience with digital, film, print media, scanning, hardware monitor calibration, and colour Management practice.

I am also fully versed in Photographic equipment usage and print production practices (Film & Digital), drawing

and painting, montage, mixed media illustration, digital restoration and use of professional graphics tablets.
