Hello! new member to the forum

hello! i am new here but not new to retouching. i have been a professional retoucher for 25 years, god help me.... started on scitex paintbox and switched over to photoshop when it was first released. I retouched all over the place here in NYC and started my own company in 2001

stumbled over this forum over the years and never joined, but found myself curious as to how the industry has changed over the years with social media, billing, outsourcing, the business end of things.. also software is a big interest for me. plugins are getting pretty darn good.

here is my site

Great portfolio - nice work without being 'over engineered'.

thank you! some of those images are retouched more than others due to the clients specific taste and image requirements. i prefer things more on the natural side but i guess its good to show a range

I really enjoyed your site. I've seen enough work to guess how many of them started, just because I recognize the lighting patterns. You did a really great job.
