ABOUT ME

I am a Fashion and beauty Retoucher working from Cape Town and consider myself to be a part of the lucky group of people who are in love with their work and get to wake up with a smile each morning, because they get to do the job that makes them happy. It sounds pretty cheesy (I know...), but this is genuinely how I feel about my retouching :)

I studied to become a fashion designer and worked in the industry for 12 years. Here I picked up some pretty useful Photoshop skills, that I still use today. Towards the end of my fashion career, I joined a part time photography course and soon discovered my love for image manipulation.

It was in late 2010 when my retouching career started and my passion for beauty imagery and working on skin took flight. Slowly my retouching techniques were developed and perfected through a mix of working under an accomplished freelance retoucher as a retouching assistant for two years freelancing inn-house for a Publishing House (HSM) and learning from reputable tutorials that would help me get to the skill level you see in my work today.

What makes me happiest is achieving perfect skin, with a perfect texture and a satisfied client that returns to work with me again.
