I am a commercial photographer and professional image retoucher with experience creating and refining high-quality visual content for clients. I recently completed a Commercial Photography program at Dawson College in Montreal, where I developed strong skills in studio photography, lighting, color management, and professional post-production workflows. My experience includes advanced editing and retouching using Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and Capture One, with a focus on maintaining natural results while enhancing image quality. I have worked on portrait, product, and commercial photography projects, paying close attention to details such as skin retouching, color consistency, lighting corrections, and overall image presentation. What sets me apart is my combination of creative understanding and technical precision. My background in Quality Assurance has trained me to be extremely detail-oriented, consistent, and meticulous when reviewing work. I understand that professional retouching is not only about making an image look better, but also about preserving the photographer's vision while delivering polished, client-ready results.
