Freelance Retoucher John Deaville, Photographic Retouching and Postproduction

I am a freelance retoucher providing creative and precision retouching for photographers, agencies and brands.

This site provides more information on the services I provide as well as :

• view a portfolio of finished images from previous projects I have worked on.
• view a selection of before and after sliders/animations along with some brief info about the treatment used.
• read some articles I have written on digital imaging, postproduction and colour management. (Coming Soon).

I have over 20 years experience working in a number of areas. I don’t specialise in any particular area of retouching as I have worked for a number of clients long term who have had different requirements. This includes:

• worked in a photographic studio. Roles included retouching fashion editorials, private portrait sittings, small advertising projects.
• freelancing for a product / packshot company. Roles involved precision retouching according to client and product specifications.
• worked long term for an accomplished photographer and retouching projects in sports, PR, corporate portraits and advertising.
• working for several sports design agencies where I would either see a postproduction through to completion or provide retouched/graded images in a format for the design team to use.
