Hello, I'm Angela Hoener, a seasoned photo retoucher who elevates imagery while staying true to the original intention. My refined use of color, contrast, and retouching blends artistry with the latest technology to craft high-end assets for large-scale print, in-store merchandising, and all digital usage for international rollouts across four continents. With an MFA in Painting & Drawing from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I translate client vision into seamless composites, skin retouching, and precise color correction. I’ve led creative direction on campaigns, delivered key visuals for campaigns including Delicia Drench across NYC and Paris, and collaborated across teams to produce visuals that are bold, authentic, and brand-aligned.
