Adrian Grant-Smith – Freelance Retoucher
Adrian Grant-Smith is a freelance retoucher working from his Joburg studio, Digital Perception. His latest work is for Wet Peach Custom Swimwear, a brand that is currently launching in the States. The photographer was Gerard Turnley. This is what Adrian had to say,’ The work I did on the visuals was to clean and smooth out the models’ skintones as well as adding an interesting contrast and colour treatment. Doesn’t seem like much but believe me the skintone work was intensive.’
Quite amazing! To view more of Adrian’s work go to his Flickr page.
