Recommendations

"I've worked with Brian a couple of times, and look forward to the next project I can bring him in on. Brian saved me. As a Creative Director on a very limited budget he helped me prep our shoot, threw out ideas for ways to be successful, as well as stood by during the shoot to weigh in on composition and the ability to compost images in post production. Our project turned out better than either I or the client had hoped it could. All on time, on budget, and the whole process was fun. Brian's a retouching master, but it's the rest of the stuff that makes all the difference. I really look forward to working with Brian again soon."

"I've been working with Brian this past year. His skills, consistency, turn around time and overall attitude towards a project is what keeps me coming back. He knows that collaboration in retouching is key. He listens intently and suggests ideas to help bring out the vision of the project thus bringing it to a higher level."
