About me

With a proven track record of creating and retouching first class conceptual photos and managing diverse groups of people on projects ranging from professional photo shoots to photo retouching, I get the job done in a very creative, client sensitive and clever way.

With over three years of experience in digital photography, image retouching and enhancing, the focus of my current work centres on visual and narrative designs. One of the things I enjoy most about what I do is working with others to create something fantastic; choosing the right people and challenging my creativity in a collaborative environment. To be part of creative team with unique skills to work towards the completion of amazing projects is my goal as a creative.

I can work on very tight deadlines, in stressful and physical environments still providing attention to details, motivation for the others and creative and innovative opinions that will lead to the success of any project. My education has provided me with a thorough knowledge of creative photography's and retouching techniques while through my freelance work experience, I have learned what is necessary to produce work that succeeds aesthetically and conceptually.

You will see from my CV that my experience has also been gained in careers not directly related to photography and photo retouching.

Besides being a freelance photographer and retoucher, I have been working for the past 4 years as Promotion and Activation Lion Entry Manager for the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity. Having such a role within such a big event, it has become almost impossible for me to dedicate much time to my career as retoucher and I am convinced I have more to give as retoucher than as an event manager. However, during these four years with Cannes Lions, I have developed many transferrable skills such as being extremely organised and able to communicate effectively with people.
