I'm a photographer and professional photoshop expert / retoucher / digital artist specialising in ALL sides of photography - which includes fashion and glamour, portraits, weddings, music, and beautiful art. This is about style, personality, form, and beauty. I have worked in the media for 16 years providing newspapers and magazines quality images day in and day out, in photography, illustration, and design - this isnt leaving out that I have worked with Hollywood actors and famous international musicians. I pretty much photographed it all. Weddings, major sporting events, major news events, riots and crazy stuff - Ive been there. Not forgetting Ive worked on the side since 1996 in nightclubs and venues right across Sydney, exclusively covering events, entertainment, and socials. When I freelance, I work with Trish Marinozzi from OTB Photography.
When it comes to design and retouching photos, I follow the principle that if you can tell what we did to a photo, we failed. Proper retouching is done when an image is flawless, which means no halos around areas, no oversharpening, and no unnatural colour corrections. I DONT believe in changing the shape of a model's looks, and especially on facial features. Touching up images is always part of the work, but if it comes down to reshaping a face completely, then it becomes a photomontage and not a photo. ( and there is enough software available for that, it isnt an art )
