Hi, my name is Layla and I am a beauty retoucher based in London. With almost a decade of experience in the fashion and creative industries—including several years as a professional model—I bring a unique perspective to every project. My journey in front of the camera has given me a strong understanding of visual storytelling, beauty standards, and what makes an image truly stand out. Transitioning behind the scenes, I've worked closely with photographers, stylists, and art directors, often contributing to the creative direction on set and shaping the final outcome of images.
