Hi, I’m a Los Angeles-based photo retoucher, digital finisher, photographer, and painter.
With more than 25 years of experience in imaging and visual production, my career has spanned high-end fashion and editorial retouching, magazine prepress, commercial campaigns, and entertainment key art. I’ve held in-house imaging roles at Hyperion Digital, Playboy Enterprises, Billboard Magazine, and The Hollywood Reporter, and worked as a contract digital finisher on theatrical and entertainment campaigns.
Selected entertainment work includes key art for Avatar: The Way of Water, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Captain America: Civil War, and Blue Beetle.
As an independent retoucher and finisher, I’ve worked with clients including IPSY, Citizen Watch, Bulova, Matsuda Eyewear, and Republic Records / Universal Music Group.
As a photographer, my work focuses on fashion, portraiture, and the human form, with a cinematic and editorial-inspired approach.
My background in traditional and digital painting plays a major role in my photographic work. Before moving into retouching for publications, I worked in animation pre-production, comic book art production, matte painting, illustration, and visual development. This included color and painting work on more than 40 episodes of MGM Television’s Pink Panther & Pals.
Early work in visual development included illustration, storyboard painting, and texture work for previsualization on The Alchemist, a film project led by Laurence Fishburne alongside VFX producer Camille Cellucci (Titanic, The Matrix trilogy, Elysium).
A combination of technical production experience and traditional art training allows me to approach complex photo manipulation, compositing, image extensions, and photorealistic retouching with a painter’s eye, particularly when little or no photographic reference is available.
