Photo Editing

My expertise in photo editing was built before AI tools became widespread, grounded in technical precision and manual skill. I focused on the core functions of professional software, including layers, masks, and detailed adjustments. I handled complex tasks like precise pathwork, targeted dodging and burning, and careful color grading. My process involved constructing images through hands-on compositing and naturalistic retouching, relying on technical problem solving and a trained eye for composition rather than automated processes. These skills established a disciplined approach that continues to inform my professional work today.
