  • I am experienced in photoshop and I can do a lot of things but I like to stay true to a moment. I don’t slim down or physically change you.

    Tip: Using professional hair and make up stylists will give you better photos as they know how to work with lighting and cameras, giving myself an easier and faster job in post production.
