"Why not add this as a forum question to get some conversations going.  The forum has been fairly stagnant with very little interaction the last few weeks. I don't know why the players and owners can't come to a compromise.…"

Retouching the World, one image at a time!

“Your photography is a record of your living, for anyone who really sees.”
̶̶̶ ̶ Paul Strand (American Photographer, 1890-1976)

I strive to improve the image without changing the story.

My name is David and I'm a photo retouch artist. I started out studying photography at The Art Institute of Houston in the early 80's. I moved to Tulsa and began a career as a commercial photographer, but after I built my second darkroom I found that I liked the darkroom as much, if not more than being behind the camera. Although I have remained an avid photographer the computer age came along and my formal training was electronics, so it was a natural progression to get into computer IT and become a geek.

In 2006 I was in a serious car accident and had a long recovery (100% if you don't count the occasional vertigo ). Anyway, I decided I would change my focus and I began learning everything I could about Photoshop and Illustrator. Just as I had taught myself photography a long time ago, I started teaching myself the art of photo retouching. I'm obsessed now and I don't see any end in sight.

I have great color perception and a wonderful attention to detail. I see things most don't and my wife hates to shop for clothes without me, she says “because I'm so good with colors." Yeah right, I say thanks 'hot rod' and spend the day with her anyway. I love her to death. ;o)

I really want to be a great success with my retouching skills. I think it's always been in my blood to make things look as good as possible, some would call that a perfectionist trait. Maybe so!

Currently I'm happy to retouch one or two quality images without charge as a way to build my portfolio and possibly help others with their goals too. Feel free to contact me or send images you would like retouched to Wizard@PixelPurfect.com and I'll let you know which ones I would like to retouch. You must be the model and/or the copyright holder or have permission to request the retouch. Please include your user name when you contact me via email. That's how I organize my work.


All the best,

David

You are most welcome. You have a very interesting and unique profession. I will certainly send anyone your way who I hear needs help with their photos. I have a very broad network, but nobody who does photo retouching, so it's great to have you in my network. Happy Networking!
