Some amazing things can be done to images, although photo-retouching usually isn't noticed. It's about making bad pictures seem natural, or good pics better. 80% of the images we see are manipulated in some way. Sometimes it's a simple colour correction, but it can be a comp, restoration or special effects.

Here's a small selection of the image work I've done.


Usually the intention is that retouching is not noticeable. In this image for a clothing store, the background had to be removed and the colours adjusted to enhance the store's bohemian-chic image. (* Retouching and production).

A dull factory interior can be made to look like the inside of a space ship, to match the high-tech feel of the products.. Below is the original image.
