    uniE621 Premium Campaign Retouching for Lookbook and Linesheet Presentation
    This project involved the meticulous processing and finalisation of high-resolution campaign imagery for a premium womenswear brand. My role included both advanced technical retouching and production artworking. Execution involved systematic, high-standard cleanup across the model, background, and garment, removing all visual distractions to meet the brand's sophisticated aesthetic. Crucially, I was the production artworker for the digital lookbooks and technical linesheets, working closely with the director to ensure all images were perfectly placed, sized, and optimised for final presentation to clients. This demonstrates proficiency in both Photoshop mastery and design layout/production integration. retoucher lookbook fashioncampaign linesheet photoshop indesign
