Hi, I’m Carly Bright. I’ve spent 16 years in advertising, starting as a production artist and evolving into a photo retoucher for the past 8 years. I love turning photography into polished, brand-forward imagery for major clients, and I stay on the cutting edge by exploring new AI tools and plugins, like Topaz Labs, to elevate every project. I’ve also led agency tutorials and training sessions to share retouching know-how with my colleagues. Outside of work, I’m passionate about music, dogs, yoga, and travel. I run the Dean the Basset social accounts, growing a following of over half a million across platforms, and I’ve collaborated with brands such as Nordstrom, Dyson, SickKids, and Mercedes on photography, video, and branding content.…Hi, I’m Carly Bright.
