Hello! 👋 Thanks for stopping by!

You are probably here because of my photography work, and I hope we belong to the same category of people – those who aspire to be better human beings and creative professionals, working towards that goal every single day. If we do, please take a peek into my blog too.

For over a decade, I have been a beauty and cosmetic product photographer and retouching artist in Los Angeles, CA. I am formally trained in Commercial Photography (Melbourne, Australia).

As a photographer, I aim to capture clean, perfectly lit images that require minimal post-production. Through pre-production consulting, my team and I help our clients achieve the best possible outcome in every project while minimizing production and post-production time and costs.

With my extensive experience in the beauty industry and deep understanding of makeup, lighting, and retouching, I also lead Avenue Retouching team, a post-production and consulting agency in the beauty ecosystem, designed to help cosmetics brands create visuals that capture consumer’s attention.

As a creative professional, I am obsessed with expanding my skill set and have been consumed by my side project of figuring out a step-by-step way to acquire new skills fast. That’s what I started my new blog for, come visit again soon!
