About John Armour

I am a Creative Retoucher with extensive experience in fashion, beauty, e-commerce, and advertising. My expertise lies in high-end skin retouching, precise colour correction, detailed compositing, and creating natural yet polished imagery that elevates brand storytelling. Skilled in Adobe Photoshop, Capture One, and Lightroom, I bring a sharp eye for detail and a strong understanding of industry standards for both print and digital campaigns. I thrive on collaborating with photographers, art directors, and production teams to deliver visuals that meet tight deadlines without compromising quality. In addition to my technical ability, I excel at understanding client needs, managing expectations, and building strong creative partnerships. I’ve retouched images for large-scale campaigns as well as boutique projects, always with the goal of enhancing, not overpowering, the original vision. Specialties include: high-end beauty retouching, skin texture & tone, product retouching, colour accuracy, compositing, and workflow efficiency.
