Julia Kuzmenko McKim

For over a decade, I have been deeply involved in visual production as a beauty photographer and retoucher, helping established and growing Beauty & Wellness brands across North America create high-quality visual work.

Formally trained in Commercial Photography (Melbourne, Australia).

Today, my team and I focus on helping brands keep up with growing content demands. In our ongoing visual production brand work, we combine photography, retouching, motion, and AI-accelerated workflows, always refining our processes to be more efficient without compromising quality.

Through Retouching Academy, I share what we continue to learn through real client work, from retouching skills to the professional tools and workflows we have developed, including our flagship Beauty Retouch v5 panel with AI-assisted features, now used by over 20,000 creative professionals worldwide.
