About me

My name is Samantha Friend. I'm a Professional Photographic Retoucher, and an Adobe Certified Expert in Photoshop. I am currently looking for work opportunities and would be interested in full or part time work, and I can also offer my services on a freelance basis.

Having studied the creative industry throughout my education, I have accumulated a vast knowledge in all aspects of the industry, with particular interest in photography, illustration and photo retouching. I also have extensive knowledge with Adobe Software, focusing particularly on the Photoshop CS Series. To illustrate my interest and knowledge of the Photoshop series I have also taken an exam to achieve an ACE certificate, certifying me as a Photoshop expert.

I have many years experience of recreational retouching, and for the past year I have been working on professional retouching projects. I am a creative individual with a creative educational background, who is hard working, enthusiastic and can work in a team or as an individual.

I pride myself on being a very friendly, outgoing and approachable person. Throughout my retail work and creative education I have also learnt how to handle difficult situations and work to strict deadlines.

I would like to invite you to take a look at my CV and Portfolio to see examples of my work. My portfolio and contact details are all on my website: *.

Please do feel free to contact me and i'll look forward to speaking to you!
