Client
Since 2007 I have worked full time as a professional retoucher for various eCommerce studios. I have had the pleasure to work with clients such as Harrods, Jimmy Choo, Harvey Nics, Truro, Links of London, Anya Hindmarch, Playboy, and many more.
Paperchase
One of my favourite clients to work with. They were always coming up with new and interesting concept shoots. The post production brief came down to making sure the colours were bold and the shapes perfect. Sometimes easier said than done, but the resulting images were always a pleasure to create.
Ann Summers
Another client that find new and interesting shoots to do. The majority of work is not actually skin work, they prefer a very light touch to keep it natural (a refreshing take). Most of the work goes into the product, hair and backgrounds.

As you can imagine getting the colours perfect was vital for this shoot. It was also necessary to make sure the backgrounds and clothing to be smooth and even to make every image pop perfectly.
Tess Stenson - Independent Author
Client needed a book cover for physical and eBook for upcoming book. A comedy about aliens escaping Area 51 during a zombie apocalypse.
I went with a simple but bold illustration to capture the light tone and early campy sci-fi vibes.

Waterford
They say never work with kids or animals. I’ve worked with both and it’s always a joy. These lucky pups had gorgeous crystal bowls to show off. Due to the nature of the shoot (dogs wondering all over the set) the bowls were added in separately in post by me.
Twisted Tailor
Sometimes you can’t afford to shoot on top of the mountains, but luckily rear projection is the next best thing. Along with the expected retouch (skin and perfect looking clothes) the background and foreground snow needed extended.
Harvey Nichols
To make a dramatic splash you need a lot of preparation and elements. Close coordination between photographer, art director and post production is essential.
Senturion
Expensive watches that must look perfect. Each image is made up of many different shots, lighting each area and facet, had to be carefully put together. Working at a large size and so close up meant every microscopic piece of dirt and dust was visible and needed removing while still retaining all the small details, like brushed steel.
Anya Hindmarch - Build - a - bag
The client needed a set of images that could be put together by customers to create a unique bag. Each aspect should seamlessly be usable for any bag / colour / accessory. A base bag was used then recoloured. The Handles were carefully warped to fit base bag handle joins. Final output of PNGs so a holding shadow could be used to make it all look natural.

Client Brief
Using just one image of a shoe and multiple small physical swatches I was tasked with creating a large range of shoes in various materials and colours.
I used the small swatch to create a repeating texture swatch. These could be recoloured for every colour way.
Using natural lighting of the original shot, high pass layers, warping the swatches, and many dodge and burn layers to create a natural look.
