PRO 20+ years experience

I've been using Adobe Photoshop since Version 3.1, that's way back in 1995, circa Dave LaChapelle's uber-retouched breakthrough images and Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise.

IN-HOUSE workflow integration

Having worked with top ad agencies, design houses, publishers, production studios and photographers from all over the globe, I‘ve learnt to adapt & integrate into all manner of in-house workflows & cultures. As such, I’m a contractor that can be rapidly deployed for overflow situations or indeed emergency asset rescues.

TOOLSET | LR + Capture One + PS

Photo retouching doesn't mean much without the tools. Sure, Photoshopping skills are critical, but these days it's just as much about Capture One Pro and Adobe Lightroom, both of which I've been using and abusing since the very beginning.
