If I am Not Working at the Photo Shoppe,
I am Usually Still at Home Working in Photoshop!

Restoration, Recolorization, Retouching

With over ten years of on-the-job professional experience in photo restoration, with an additional tens years prior to that in freelance digital retouching, I possess highly advanced Photoshop skills. Being both an artist and a photographer with a studio lighting background enable me to edit extremely realistic images by drawing in necessary details; matching textures, sharpness, and color; and painting shadows and shading as a finishing touch to complete the photo.

I was not the photographer of these images, but I did all of the artwork in retouching, restoring, recolorizing, and editing each image. Many of the retouched pictures are great examples of the pixel perfect photos I strive to create with my own photography.

The following before and after images are examples of the versatile edits I do every day:
