About me
My strengths lie in photographic post-production. After close to ten years experience with photoshop, my retouching and manipulation skills are excellent. My interest in digital manipulation first evolved during my design Degree in New Zealand. Since then my skills and techniques have evolved alongside the programs. I have also extensive experience in CMYK output and find this knowledge essential in producing perfect colour balance and quality in my work. My passion within the photographic and retouching medium is the pleasing textures and softness of the human subject and I have created digital techniques that produce these results in a short timeframe. I have extensive experience in working with the human form with photography. I handle the psychology of shooting with comfort and have the ability to relax a subject. Creating a calm atmosphere is a crucial part of capturing emotion from a shoot. My technical knowledge of the photographic medium is vast as well as varied. I have built up many man-hours within a studio in assisting photographers and my own freelance and personal work. I excel at creating a classic smooth lighting in a studio, but also have a flair for more creative lighting techniques.
