Recent experience:
I retouch photos for Martha Stewart magazines full-time. I also freelance for retail companies and ad agencies such as Lord and Taylor, Ralph Lauren, Macy’s, and Gotham Inc., doing retouching and prepress work for marketing campaigns, brand guides, pressbooks, product packaging, direct mail catalogs, and web sites. I color-correct and composite photos, create clipping paths and masks, convert images to various ICC profiles for print, update InDesign layouts, output proofs, etc.
I work on smaller retouching and web site projects from my home office, too. Clients include local businesses like Zen Home, Evolve45, and Broadway Speaks OUT!, actors, authors, musicians, and people who want their old, damaged photos repaired.
Samples of my Photoshop work are available below. For more details, view my resume.
