RETOUCHING & IMAGE MANIPULATION
HIGH-END RETOUCHING FOR BRANDS, AGENCIES AND PHOTOGRAPHERS
Retouching built on true craft. Not shortcuts. Not presets.
I learned retouching long before AI and one-click “fixes” existed.
Before neural filters, before automated masking — when every adjustment had to be done by hand.
That foundation matters. It means I understand how images really work: light, texture, colour, perspective, realism. And it means the work I produce today still carries the precision, judgement and craftsmanship that only comes from years of hands-on experience.
Whether it’s refining product photography, compositing multiple assets, removing distractions, correcting colour, or reshaping surfaces so they feel tangible and believable — the approach is always the same: attention to detail, technical accuracy, and visual honesty.
WHAT I DO
High-end Retouching
Clean, precise retouching using advanced Photoshop techniques.
From subtle refinement to full reconstruction – always natural, never over-processed.
Image Manipulation & Compositing
Shaping, rebuilding, and blending multiple assets into a single cohesive image.
Illustrations wrapped around 3D forms, shadows rebuilt, lighting corrected – all created manually in a 2D space for maximum control.
Product & Packshot Retouching
Perfecting surfaces, materials, textures, reflections and shadows for retail, e-commerce and packaging.
Everything from removing flaws to creating consistent colour across product ranges.
Colour Correction & Grading
Colour work built on traditional dark-room principles: accurate, repeatable, and consistent across campaigns.
Essential for packaging, catalogues, and brand systems where consistency is critical.
Creative Problem-Solving
Fixing unfixable images.
Reconstructing details, rebuilding missing elements, restoring realism, or pushing creative concepts beyond what the camera captured.

“Lennie has been a breath of fresh air to work with. He worked hard to understand our products, services and our business and what’s more, he is highly creative too! I would definitely recommend.”
“The work we did with Lennie was amazing and allowed us to hone down brand concepts and ideas. Being a creative company ourselves, also meant we faced a lot of challenges internally and these were very well smoothed out by Lennie.”
“Lennie has been an absolute joy to deal with and have produced work of the highest quality. The process of working in partnership with us, and ultimately the exceptional design work, has been highly impressive. We hope to remain clients of all yours for many years.”
“Lennie comes with many years experience within the creative industry and is able to transfer his excellent creative and project management skills onto team members allowing them to grow and flourish.

Lennie didn’t hesitate to offer to help our charity Sustain For Life. He created some fantastic designs for our 2018 Christmas campaign which helped us generate essential charity donations. The turnaround of the work was quick and high quality making the whole process stress free! Having worked with Lennie previously for many years I know his work is consistently good and always happy to help. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
