Case study — Retouching

The work starts after the shutter.

Retouching is where an image is finished. Every project arrives with its own creative needs, so I work flexibly and to brief — often to tight turnarounds — to get the picture to where the client imagined it.

Ten brands, one skill set: fashion, beauty, jewellery, product, food, travel and commercial imagery, for luxury houses, high-street retail and ecommerce.
