With nearly a decade in commercial photo retouching I know that editing always starts with client collaboration. Keeping the photographer's vision at the forefront is essential while culling for best images, adjusting color and dynamic range, adding and removing objects, using generative ai, and making any further alterations necessary to highlight the intended focus of the image. This along with an ever-growing depth of technical knowledge in photo retouching allows me to meet current industry standards and adapt to any style.
