This engaging project for the Australian Government encompassed composition, extension, grading, and type darkening.

I had some stock images of a QANTAS A330 and needed to place it into photos of different Asian cities. I matched the lighting and time of day to ensure the plane looked naturally integrated into each scene.

Another nice job to do: the Lifeline Winter Campaign 2024. It involved significant compositing, extension, and color grading work.

Compositing and grading here. I've always liked this one... A freelance job, and I can't really remember the agency...

This is a poster and all the accompanying flyers etc, for ARAFMI (Association of Relatives And Friends of the Mentally Ill), for a BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) Awareness Day Conference. I designed this as well as doing the retouching. All the cutout elements I did by hand and then I photographed them. I really love the result. It was a very successful poster for the client and the event. ARAFMI

This is an exercise in compositing, extending and grading. The original shot finished just below the girl's shoulder so I had to find the rest of the components from the various shots of the photo shoot. Commonwealth Bank, M&C Saatchi Sydney

These are quite old, early in my retouching career, but I'm still proud of them. City of Sydney Council puts on a food and wine festival every year in October. The brief was to "bring food to life", so I came up with these. I started off illustrating them with paint and eventually progressed to photography as my retouching skills grew. I had this gig for nine years. Exciting times - good memories...

This is an ad for ARQ nightclub's Queen's Birthday Long Weekend event. It was just at the start of the pandemic, so not everything had closed down just yet. I found a picture of the Queen, put a crown on her head, curls in her hair, a mask on her face, sanitiser in her hand, and covid earrings! Fun times!

A humorous campaign for Tasmanian Tourism. Surreal imagery juxtaposed in a cartoonish composition. I had to deep-etch that bloody ship by hand! It took ages!
