Editor

Video Creation

For the past decade, I have worked as a full-time editor, serving as lead editor on a diverse range of projects. My portfolio showcases experience in both high-concept corporate productions and dynamic video game trailers, reflecting my adaptability and expertise gained through employment at distinct organizations. All projects were completed under client commission or company salary, demonstrating my ability to deliver high-quality results based on the client’s needs.

Photo Retouching

I’ve been using Photoshop for twenty years. Whether you’re an amateur or a professional photographer, sometimes the perfect photograph isn’t complete without a bit of help. I can hide things that shouldn’t be in the picture, move people around who aren’t in place, or fix someone with closed eyes.

This was the unedited raw shot. The client liked the emotion of this shot, but couldn’t do anything about the distractions in the background.

This is the lightened version with better darks and lights. I also removed the distractions from the background and added a lens blur to focus on the family.

The original image was just a simple snapshot from a smartphone. The client wanted me to hide the child and blur the words so she could use it as a profile picture.

I enlarged the image so it will work on social media or elsewhere. I then cropped out the child and replaced her arm so the child isn’t in the image at all. Then I removed the text on the wall and the design on her shirt.

Video Tweaks

I often receive requests to take a raw video or an unedited clip and tweak it so it can be better shared online.

Audio Engineering

Decades before I had the equipment, need, and desire to edit video, I was editing music and audio using freely available online programs. Over the years, I’ve been able to create audio for fun as well as fix audio so it can be reused as needed. One client needed an old recording of a family member restored so it could be heard more clearly. Another client had an audio file that they simply couldn’t figure out how to open, so I was able to find the program they needed and send them a file in a useable format. And another client had a bad audio recording of someone threatening them, and I was able to isolate and enhance (like they pretend to do in movies) the audio so it could be clearly understood and used in court to protect the victim.
