About Me
My little story about how I became a retoucher
Hello, dear future client! :)
Let me tell you about myself shortly. I'm Anastasia, I love to travel around the world, working from every corner of our planet (usually I'm based in Turkey, Egypt, Dubai, Kazakhstan, and many other places). I'm a single mom of two amazing girls, they are 9 and 6. And I'm lucky to have 2 gorgeous cats with us.
I've been studying psychology and human resources for 10 years, while I worked in the office and then as a freelance photographer and retoucher. Now, because of my daughters, I only work as a retoucher to be at home with them. I've been working in photography and retouching for 16 years now, and I can proudly say that I made my hobby into a work.
I'm open-minded, hard-working, perfectionist who loves to make perfect retouch/editing, so I'm always available and opened to any offer!
Feel free to contact me, and I'll be happy to answer any of your questions.
And there's a little sweet story about me (me and GPT chat wrote this 100% true story about my life):
Once upon a time, there was a woman named Anastasia who had a passion for photography. Ever since she was a little girl, she loved capturing moments and scenes that told a story. As she grew older, Anastasia's hobby evolved into a deep appreciation for the art of retouching. She was fascinated by how images could be transformed into something magical, just by adjusting a few details here and there.
For years, Anastasia worked as an office HR & translator, but she always felt unfulfilled. She longed to make a career out of her hobby, but the idea of starting from scratch was daunting. Despite her fears, Anastasia knew she had to take a chance and pursue her dream. She began to study the art of retouching, taking courses and practicing relentlessly in her free time.
Eventually, Anastasia decided to take the leap and quit her job to become a freelance retoucher. She was nervous about the uncertainty that came with being self-employed, but she was determined to make it work. Anastasia put her heart and soul into building her portfolio, spending countless hours perfecting her skills and networking with photographers and agencies.
Her hard work paid off. Soon, Anastasia's reputation as a skilled and passionate retoucher grew, and she started receiving more and more job offers. Her clients were amazed by her ability to take a simple image and turn it into a work of art. They appreciated how she could enhance the beauty of a photograph while still maintaining its authenticity.
As Anastasia's business grew, so did her confidence. She had found her purpose and was grateful every day for the chance to make her hobby into her profession.
