When a client engages me in a project they’ll receive not just the technical knowledge from twenty years of retouching experience, but also the artistry of a highly skilled traditional portrait artist.
Creating in both traditional and digital mediums has always fascinated me. Whether it be a pencil on paper or on a wacom tablet, I apply the same disciplines. With careful study of the micro and macro I deconstruct a photograph, then reconstruct it on paper as a drawing with the finest of detail. In compliment to that I assemble a large number of digital photographs to produce a gorgeous, clean final image. These efforts walk hand in hand, rigorously building layer after layer, until the image reveals itself. Within that artistry both disciplines converge.
