ABOUT ME
It’s my mission to craft better images to give you peace of mind.
A high end retouch is creating the perfect balance of luminosity, color and grading in an image. While preserving the original naturalness, the goal is to bring out the beauty of every image, that could not be captured on camera. Empowering it to tell its individual story and to connect hearts and brands. Therefore it's essential, to respect the vision and craft of the whole creative team.
Welcome to my studio, I am a beauty/hair, fashion and commercial retouch artist.
Being an art director for years, I chose to follow my passion and turn into a full time pro retoucher with almost 20 years in the creative industry by today. I have a strong experience in providing high end results to clients like Aldi, Fortuna Düsseldorf, Henkel, Hornbach, Mastercard, Schwarzkopf, Stabilo and Syoss among many others.
I am working on projects for well-known international advertising agencies, photographers and magazines.
As brand partner for iconic global cooperations such as Wacom and Capture One, I am honored to connect to likeminded professionals and creatives to provide knowledge and create value for the creative family. I am collaborating closely with the Wacom and Capture One team to further improve their product experience.
Additionally I am giving keynotes, panel talks or joining masterclasses for Wacom and Capture One worldwide.

Thanks for that. Very interesting. About brightness - I am in a somewhat dark-ish working space and have always been in the 100-120 range on my Eizo but I never ever print. I just use that because it is"what everyone has been saying since I first started with calibration. However! Most of my clients (95%) view their portraits on office monitors/laptops or smartphones. I have noticed that I get comments lately about too bright images and reckon I maybe should be higher to somewhat match clients viewing environment. Maybe around 150-160 (and perhaps raise my ambient light a bit). Would be interesting to hear. I know this is against the book but I don't print and just want my clients to see what I see. Or close enough

Nice one, got the same monitor. Same setting apart from my gamut that is set to adobe RGB

Thank you brother, this is an amazing monitor 🙌🏼

Thanks a lot. But, how do I know that the colors are the right ones? How can I check it?
Stimmen die Farebn die dann eben ermittelt bzw. kalibriert wurden? Wenn ich mit 5500k kalibriere habe ich das Gefühl einen Gelbstich zu haben (Monitore sind EISO CG2730) Ich bin da immer wieder so am zweifeln...

You can check it with a print proof and validate it in natural light. Everything in the room you’re in influences with your perception. Don’t get to religious about it 😉 it needs to match the print and you’re good to go ✌🏼
