I’m responsible for all the Image Processing, working on multiple projects simultaneously.With various deadlines not only overlapping, but constantly changing, I expertly manage my time and duties in order to get every job to completion before the deadline. I manage and delegate all work to be done, coordinating and overseeing the outside vendors and occasional freelancers. I manage and maintain a vast Image Library across several servers.

I work with a wide range of companies on a freelance / contract basis. Most of my clients are in the Marketing & Advertising Industry. Art Digitisation and Archival run a close second. Since January 2015, Amrod Corporate have been my primary client. I handle all the retouching work for their website, digital marketing and all their catalogues.Freelance Client Portfolio available only on request.

At MKDP (Martin Kristiansen Digital Photography) I was part of a 3-person team of highly skilled Retouchers. We did everything from food and styling to corporate and e-commerce work. We even spent about 3 months retouching aerial shots of the Congo for Ortho GIS use.Daily duties consisted of masking, cleaning, colour correcting and matching to products, colour changes and manipulation. I also did Digital Room Creation. (A couch, for instance, would be shot in studio, and then a room would be digitally created using previously shot or created elements, having the end result look as if it were shot in a furnished room.)After being retrenched in March 2009, I kept working for MKDP on a freelance basis.

I worked with an amazing group of people as the sole Photo Retoucher for a very busy Photography Studio. It was here that I learnt about time management and daily tight deadlines. We shot mostly model portfolios, families, couples, and nudes, but also did a lot of corporate events.My job was to Retouch every image that was ordered by the clients, catalogue and archive all work done, as well as quality control for pre-production. When neccessary, I also helped out with Make-Up and Hair, Set Propping, Styling and assisting the photographer in studio.

I was responsible for the Digital Production at Q-Photo (a Photographic Printing Lab). We did everything from simple photo retouching and colour changes to digitally restoring old, damaged photographs. I also learned how to use the C41 and E6 processors, as well as standard and large format Fujifilm printers.Counter sales & customer liaison. Stock control.
