Margo Kucheryna
Fashion & Beauty Retoucher · Photographer · Graphic Designer
Fashion and beauty retoucher with 5+ years of professional experience in image editing and visual production. I specialize in high-end skin retouching, color correction, fashion and editorial imagery, and preparing photographs for digital and print use.
A background in photography, art direction and graphic design lets me approach retouching with a strong understanding of lighting, composition, color and visual storytelling. I organize photoshoots, collaborate with creative teams and develop images from the initial concept through to final retouching.
