I bring your image to life!
Check out my mouse over before and after portfolio tab on
Facebook.
The art of retouching involves manipulating attributes of individual pixels in a manner that is both professionally acceptable and visually pleasing, while also maintaining a believability that the subconscious mind will accept. I strive to improve the image, without ruining the story.
My name is David and I'm a photo retouch artist. I started out studying photography at The Art Institute of Houston in the early 80's. I moved to Tulsa and began a career as a commercial photographer, but after I built my second darkroom I found that I liked the darkroom as much, if not more than being behind the camera. Although I have remained an avid photographer, the computer age came along and my formal training was electronics, so it was a natural progression to get into computer IT and become a geek.
In 2006 I was in a serious car accident and had a long recovery (I made it back to 100% if you don't count the occasional vertigo). Anyway, I decided I would change my focus and I began learning everything I could about Photoshop and Illustrator. Just as I had taught myself photography a long time ago, I started teaching myself the art of retouching. I'm obsessed now and I don't see any end in sight.
I have great color perception and a wonderful attention to detail. I see things most don't and my wife hates to shop for clothes without me, she says “because I'm so good with colors." I say thanks 'hot rod' and spend the day with her anyway. I love her to death. ;o) BTW, she's a great web designer. Check her out at

I really want to be a great success with my retouching. I think it's always been in my blood to make things look as good as possible, some would call that a perfectionist trait. Maybe so!
