Description
I have a passion for the Image process and retouching. Ever since college I have fallen in Love with photography, the process and retouching.
I have elevated myself to keep learning and make process more efficient to ensure the final images are the best that I can deliver. From working on images for e-commerce to websites to being an expert on images that will be used for all printed collateral. Including all images for in-store graphics, catalogues, lookbooks, PR, and outdoor banners. I believe that my path in the photoworld has set me up to be a great retoucher with production knowledge.
I have always excel in the process, to ensure the final images exceed expectations.
Continuing to be a lifelong student and never stop learning new things to ensure relevancy in the world of Photography/Retouching and Post Production.
Best,
Billy
