Who am I? About

A Few Words About Myself Nice to Meet You

My name is James. I’m a semi retired professional editorial photographer from the West of Scotland. I hope you will enjoy viewing my portfolio website and that perhaps it will encourage you toward making contact to discuss a collaboration in one my ongoing projects.

Through the lens the world looks different and I would like to show you this difference. I learned that from an early, when I was first shooting on a 35mm manual camera. After that with years of practice and varied experience I’ve learned  the ingredient that no AI software or phone app can manage is the understanding and control of light.

How does this happenHand RETOUCHING

Here I want to show you hand retouch editing. Sometimes you cannot see the result without direct comparison. So I’ll show you  below directly by comparing this image before and after editing.

More examples of this type of hand retouch enhancement can be viewed on the dedicated retouching gallery page
