Welcome! I'm an photo retoucher / photographer / finisher / digital painter based in Los Angeles. I’ve worked in retouching, imaging / prepress, for over 18 years with various prepress companies, retouching & creative studios, magazine publishers, ad agencies, and photographers. I’ve also worked with agencies as a Finisher for Theatrical Key art on various Hollywood feature films. I worked on-site as a full time Senior PrePress Imaging Specialist for magazine publications such as Playboy, Billboard, and The Hollywood Reporter. Before I worked in publishing / retouching I worked as a colorist/painter for animation pre-production (Over 40 episodes for MGM Television’s Pink Panther N Pals), comic book publication and various projects for films involving matte painting and illustration. Throughout the years I've also worked for hire as a photorealist portrait artist, working on canvas and other large format media. My traditional & digital painting skills enable me to create complex photo manipulations, composites, and extensions when little to no image reference is available. I can achieve photorealistic retouching and compositing results through years of experience in various arts and over 26yrs experience using Photoshop. For résumé click HERE.
