Hi, I’m Steven, a freelance retoucher with around 20 years of experience in fashion, beauty and consumer imagery. I deliver colour-accurate retouching, masking, compositing and template-driven production for e-commerce and campaigns, using Photoshop CC on a calibrated setup with a Wacom tablet. I continually update my skills through online courses and real-world client work to keep the look fresh and brand-accurate. Over the years I’ve collaborated with London studios and brands such as Burberry, Dunhill, Wrangler, Triumph Lingerie, Stella McCartney, Boden, plus several independent fashion start ups, ensuring high-end results under tight deadlines. I enjoy partnering with photographers and creative teams to maintain a consistent look across markets, while preserving skin tone integrity, texture and natural realism across hundreds of images.
