retouching
I never had any ambition to be anything other than a designer - and then Photoshop was launched in 1988 and that was when my love for digital image manipulation started.
My retouching skills are a combination of my 'designers eye' for detail, my illustration skills and nearly 30 years of Photoshop experience.
