Details Magazine: Shia LaBeouf

Retouching on November 1st, 2011 No Comments

So he may not be the same ‘Even Stevens’ character that we all used to love, but he does seem to be appearing in a lot of high-profile movies these day. Actually, I’m gonna leave my film criticism out of this and go straight to the photography, since no one cares that the Transformers series, [...]

Elle UK: Coco Roscha

Retouching on October 27th, 2011 1 Comment

Although it is a little old now (in the fashion world that is), the Elle UK’s August issue was my first big cover story I retouched as a freelancer. It’s quite exciting to see your stuff out on the newsstands. The fun and spunky Coco Roscha, shot by Mattias Virens-McGrath made for a interesting fashion [...]

New Work, Retouching on October 25th, 2011 2 Comments

Wow, hiatus much? It seems as though I have let the blog get away from me, far far away. So in an attempt to overhaul this bad boy, I’m going to pretend as though the six month gap from the last post never happened. As a matter of fact, what gap?

Winter Fashion Editorial

Considering I’ve been retouching at Box Studios for a little under a year now, I’ve been able to study the work of my photo idols. One of them being the fantastic Paolo Roversi, who often graces the cover of Italian Vogue. For Michael Didyoung’s latest fashion editorial, we decided on going towards Paolo’s unique look [...]

Michael Didyoung

Friends, Retouching on January 7th, 2011 3 Comments

I have met a lot of extremely talented artists in the past 4+ years and this year has been no exception. Meet Mike Didyoung, fellow SCAD graduate and photography aficionado. With a calm-tempered  and laid back manner, what is there not to like about him?

5 Minute Photoshoot

New Work, Retouching on September 12th, 2010 2 Comments

Sometimes shoots don’t go exactly as you planned and you have to change on the fly. Such was the case with the Marcus Robert’s Trio when they were in town last spring for the Savannah Music Festival. Being the last day of the festival they had a very booked schedule but I was able to [...]

Working Inside the Box

Business, Retouching on July 31st, 2010 6 Comments

There is no better feeling than being employed directly out of school, especially at that slightly “out of reach” studio on the top of your list. Four years at SCAD just to be thrown out into the world to fend for my needy self, and boy could it have been any better of an experience. [...]

Five “Simple” Steps

Retouching, Video on April 15th, 2010 5 Comments

As a photographer and digital artist I often have people ask me if my images are real. It’s no secret that I enhance almost every image I use and often composite several images just to create one final piece. To traditionalists and purists who disagree with the heavy handed use of Photoshop, I say look [...]

We Are Plus

Business, Internship, Retouching on December 1st, 2009 No Comments

I was able to pick up another internship while in NYC through a connection. I’m working as the junior retoucher at We Are Plus in Chelsea. They specialize in company branding through various media including experimental media, and do a pretty awesome job at it. It’s a great environment with an especially young design team. [...]

Trick-or-Treat

Fun, Retouching on October 31st, 2009 No Comments

I’m feeling festive for the holidays so here’s an image of a “dollar store” setup I did last year. This is a test shot that I edited later, however the final was captured in those fandangled large format cameras. I love shooting 4×5 slide film because it puts the skill back into shooting.
Time to O.D. [...]
