I’m Don, a photo retoucher based in Central Florida with a broad background in editorial and commercial publishing. I enjoy working with art directors, photographers, and creative teams to create clean, striking visuals that tell the right story—whether it’s refining color, building composites, or prepping files for print. My composites often go beyond products, blending lifestyle and environmental elements into seamless, believable images.
Along the way, I’ve managed high-volume retouching teams for major publications and book divisions—delivering work that stayed on budget and earned industry recognition.
I understand that every project has its own rhythm: some evolve over weeks, others demand a quick turnaround. Either way, I keep things running smoothly and on schedule—so your team looks great and the results shine. When possible, I consult ahead of a shoot—and either on set or remotely as files come in—to catch issues early and cut down hours in post without cutting corners.
As a testament to my love for photography, I also offer high-end archival scanning with my Heidelberg Tango drum scanner—ideal for photographers, artists, and collectors who want to give their analog work museum-quality digital negatives.
When I’m not at my desk, you’ll probably find me on a trail with my wife and our goofy Labrador, Luna—or sneaking in a few sets of tennis.
Need a reliable retoucher who makes the process easier (and maybe even fun)? Let’s talk.
