About me

I have over ten yearâ€(TM)s experience as a high-level Creative Photoshop Retoucher in the advertising and design fields. My work ranges from scanning, simple cutting-out, dust removal and colour-management, right through to creating single images from complex multi-part comps, seamlessly combining scans and digital pictures to form one finished result. I use various creative techniques to blend elements, merging them and “printing down” to retain realism and enhance mood within the image.I have retouched images for a wide range of clients, including large advertising agencies, design companies, magazines, advertising and editorial photographers from initial processing of raw images to final output.My strong communication skills are important in working closely with photographers and art-directors to translate their ideas to the final image, whilst also being able to work under my own initiative.I am meticulous, with an eye for detail, meeting demanding deadlines without compromising quality.I have extensive experience as a photographer after working as an assistant with many well-known photographers. I have a creative eye and a wide understanding of the photographic process, which I bring to my work.
