🟩 Need visuals that stop the scroll and convert? I'm an AI Image Generation specialist and senior retoucher with 15+ years in commercial advertising production. On Upwork I hold a Top Rated status with a 100% Job Success Score and 80+ successfully closed projects - a track record built on precision, reliability, and creative results that move the needle. I work at the intersection of high-end Photoshop craftsmanship and cutting-edge AI Photo Generation to create images that are impossible to ignore. Over a decade and a half as a professional retoucher for major fashion, beauty, and eCommerce brands taught me that every pixel matters. Today, I apply that same exacting standard to AI Photo Generator workflows - producing visuals faster, smarter, and with greater creative range than traditional methods alone. ✅ What I Deliver: 🔹 AI Image Generation for Commerce & Advertising As an AI Image Generation specialist, I use DALL-E, MidJourney, Stable Diffusion, and Flux to generate production-ready AI Art and commercial campaign visuals. From product launches to lifestyle imagery, every AI Image is crafted with intent - not just generated and dumped. My AI Photo Generator approach is always guided by 15 years of advertising production instinct. 🔹 AI Photo Editor / Photoshop Compositing I'm equally at home as an AI Photo Editor and as a Photoshop expert. Advanced image compositing in Photoshop lets me seamlessly blend AI-generated layers with real photography - matching lighting, perspective, and depth with surgical precision. When I work as an AI Photo Editor, the output is always cohesive and production-ready. Whether it's a single hero shot or a full campaign, my role as AI Photo Editor means every composite is polished to a professional standard. 🔹 2D AI Image Generation for Games I specialize in AI Image Generation for 2D game assets - characters, environments, and props - working closely with game studios to produce stylistically consistent visual libraries. This is one of my fastest-growing service areas as an AI Art producer, and my AI Photo Generator pipeline adapts seamlessly to the specific aesthetic needs of game development. 🔹 Beauty & Skin Retouching 15 years of commercial photo retouching means I bring a photographer's and illustrator's eye to every project - natural, publication-grade skin work for fashion, editorial, and beauty campaigns. 🔹 AI Photo Generator + Color Grading My AI Photo Generator workflow extends into cinematic Color Grading pipelines - ensuring every AI Image and composite carries a consistent tonal identity across a full campaign or product line. 🔹 Video: Clipping Mask, Rotoscoping & VFX Prep Beyond stills, I work as a video editor for motion projects - handling Rotoscoping, clipping path extraction, and clean plate work in Mocha Pro and DaVinci Resolve for seamless integration. 🛠️ Tools & Workflow: As a graphic designer with deep Photoshop expertise, my AI Image Generation toolkit covers the full creative pipeline: • Adobe Photoshop - advanced compositing, retouching, AI Photo Editor workflows, and photoshop document preparation for every deliverable format • Photoshop Illustrator pipeline - for vector-to-pixel hybrid assets • DALL-E, MidJourney, Stable Diffusion, Flux - AI Photo Generator engines that power my AI Image Generation output • Capture One Pro - RAW processing and file preparation • DaVinci Resolve - Color Grading, video editor pipeline • Mocha Pro / Blender - Rotoscoping, 3D integration, computer vision-assisted masking The combination of traditional graphic designer skills, photoshop illustrator integration, and modern AI Art generation means I function as both a photographer-level visual thinker and a technically precise executor. ⚡ Why Clients Choose a Top Rated AI Image Generation Specialist: 🧠 Hybrid Expertise: I'm not just a prompt engineer — I'm a graphic designer and AI Image Generation specialist who understands light, color, composition, and storytelling from 15 years in advertising production. My AI Photo Generator skills are grounded in real commercial experience, not trial and error. 🖼️ End-to-End AI Photo Editor: From first prompt to final composite, I handle the complete AI Photo Editor workflow — generation, masking, retouching, color grading — so you get one cohesive result, not a patchwork of tools. 🌍 Remote-Proven: Longtime collaborator with agencies and brands across the US, EU, and beyond. 🎯 Pixel-Perfect Standard: Whether it's AI Photo Generator output or traditional Photoshop retouching, everything I deliver is production-ready and client-approved. 🚀 Fast & Reliable: Deadlines respected, communication proactive, quality consistent 80+ projects prove it. If you're a photographer, art director, brand, or game studio looking for an AI Photo Generator workflow that doesn't sacrifice quality or an AI Photo Editor who genuinely understands what makes visuals work commercially, let's talk. 📩 Share your brief and I'll come back ASAP
