About Me

I currently live in Los Angeles, California, where I was born and raised. I love what I do, but when I’m not working you’ll usually find me traveling or hiking.

​

I’m predominantly self-taught, as many retouchers are, but I’ve completed numerous courses in retouching and editing software. In 2022, I earned certifications in Photography, Digital Photography, Digital Photography Technician, and Photographic Lighting. It has given me a deeper understanding of exposure, color theory, lighting, and how those elements translate in post-production. This foundation has allowed me to approach retouching with a more technical and intentional eye.

​

I have thousands of hours of experience in advanced masking, compositing, and non-destructive workflows. My work emphasizes precise tonal balance, accurate color correction, and refined color grading to ensure consistency across images and campaigns. I focus on preserving natural texture while enhancing depth, contrast, and overall visual impact.

​

Through clean masking and thoughtful compositing, I create realistic, polished imagery that allows products and subjects to integrate seamlessly into any environment. While I’ve developed a niche in food advertising retouching, I enjoy working across all areas of photography, print, and marketing.
