I am a professional photo-retoucher and photographer with expertise in various fields such as compositing, weddings, portraits, fashion, corporate, babies, product, architecture, food, portraits, family photos and logo designs. I believe my combined skills of retouching and photography sets me apart as I have knowledge of both fields and how they complement each other. I am happy to work on any project no matter how small or intricate. Having worked as an in-house retoucher/photographer in a commercial photography studio for the past ten years, I am accustomed to deadlines and delivering fast and accurate results. Background: I got my B-tech degree in photography in 2008. My career started as an assistant in various photographic studios for both photographers and stylists. I then worked as a photographer at a portrait studio for two years and has since 2010 been working as an in-house retoucher/ photographer in a commercial photography studio. My skills include but are not limited to: Photo manipulation: Transforming or altering a photograph using various methods and techniques. This can include adding/removing items and extending/replacing backgrounds. Compositing: Combining elements from separate sources into single images. Frequency separation HDR processing Colour correction Batch processing Clipping paths Colour changes Removing colour casts Blemish, scar & tattoo removal Spotting - Removing dust from camera sensors Skin tone Correction Luminosity masks Enhancing shadow/highlight areas Photobook Design Logo Design
