What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Image Retoucher with over 10 years of experience in high-end photo editing, color correction, and image manipulation.

Throughout my career, I have developed a deep understanding of color theory and large-scale production workflows. My expertise includes enhancing product images, adjusting packaging visuals, and creating cohesive compositions that resonate with clients' creative briefs.
