About:
I am an agency represented professional photo retoucher. I work with international and national photographers, art directors, agencies, and celebrities. I specialize in both editorial and commercial work. My retouching style falls in line with the industry standard and my work is approved by most major agencies.
Send me a message! I would love to hear from you.

Courses:
I am also a retouching mentor. I teach one on one sessions, small groups, and big seminars for groups like ASMP
I am now offering private one on one in person classes. The course is a two day session aimed and developed to show anyone how to cut their retouching time in half while simultaneously improving their results, consistency, and aiding in cleaning up their workflow. The end effect is being able to get back to doing what they do best, booking jobs and getting out from behind the monitor. It is taught from the ground up via methods that anyone can understand!
I have courses designed for all levels, from anyone who is just starting out and wants to get up to speed on retouching, to seasoned professionals who have been using photoshop for years, and everyone in between.
I have done personal retouching classes all over the world.
