Over the years I’ve been asked occasionally to show examples of previous Photoshop work, including image manipulation and retouching. So I threw together a mini-portfolio for that purpose.
I have expert-level Photoshop skills, which include:
- retouching
- custom pattern work
- complete knowledge of layer and path tools
- special filter effects
- color correction
- optimization for web or print
And a background in illustration and drawing helps me to render images that are convincing, with no telltale marks of manipulation.
Product display renderings | Anagram International
This company wanted to pitch a new display concept to a nationally known drugstore chain. I created this mockup for the pitch using existing product images and my own photos of Anagram’s display equipment and the drugstore interior.
Image retouching & manipulation | Terris, Barnes and Walters
Custom imagery for a political campaign piece. I removed existing embossing and added the poison sign in the same style.
Image retouching & manipulation | Working Assets
I removed the background, created a clipping path, retouched the screen and color corrected.

This stock image showed a rooster instead of a hen, which didn’t fit with our message. I brought in a hen and brightened the egg slightly. (I also created the typography.)
Illustrations | BI
My client on this project designs employee incentive and rewards programs for other businesses. A trip to the Caribbean was the pitch to this major sewing and embroidery machine manufacturer. We went with a Pirates of the Caribbean theme for the trip, so I dressed up the presentation materials with custom spot illustrations using an embroidered effect created in Photoshop.

I replaced the screen with the GUI from a different phone and added the photo.
