About Me

Daniel Meadows is a British freelance retoucher with over ten years of experience in digital retouching and has worked with award winning photographers and major fashion and cosmetics brands such as Chanel, L’Oreal Paris, Elle Magazine and Harper’s Bazaar among a great many others.

'High End' retouching seems to have lost some meaning over the last few years but Daniel is of an older school where passion, care and detail are paramount and has time served among agencies and marketing teams in quality and deadline oriented environments. Please feel free to view the retouching portfolio section for examples of his retouching work.

Daniel is also a commercial beauty and fashion photographer who often shoots weddings near his home in Savannah GA.

My Ethos

I Believe

That retouching is an art, not a commodity, and that the artistry and the technical and problem-solving skills needed to contribute effectively to an ad campaign take many years to develop. I am a professional freelance retoucher with over a decade of experience working with major brands and marketing teams in delivering effective print campaigns.

Retouching Terminology, The Language of Post-Production

In this article for Retouching Academy I discuss the language and terms you’re likely to encounter as a retoucher, particularly in an on-site, agency environment. To anyone with years of working in commercial retouching the terminology comes naturally, but each of us remembers a time when the language of the industry wasn’t quite so clear. When […]

Using a Wacom Tablet For Retouching

Continuing my series of articles for Retouching Academy, I’ve looked into a common question from beginner retouchers, ‘how much do I actually need a graphics tablet?’ The computer mouse was invented over fifty years ago by inventor Douglas C Engelbart, and whilst ubiquitous at the modern workstation, it does have its limitations for fast and precise […]
