House of Retouching

A retouching studio co-founded with a friend in 2006. For 17 years my side was clients and sales, the brand, technical direction and leading a team of 15.

The studio

A friend and I started it in Kraków in 2006. In my 17 years there the studio retouched work for Marvel, Netflix, Disney and Vogue, mostly through the photographers who shot it.

My side

Clients and sales: winning international accounts and keeping them, later with a sales agent in the US. The brand, and how the studio presented itself. Technical direction, from fast 10G networking early on to centralised storage the retouchers’ Macs could work from. And the team: hiring and training retouchers, plus retouching courses for companies and individuals.

I left in 2023. The studio carries on under Krzysztof Gadomski.
