Retouching & Post Production

“Alene and I had the true luxury of being able to work together for several years via the media company, Food52. She became our premier freelance go-to for retouching under the brand partnerships & editorial teams. I was truly able to rely on her punctuality in meeting deadlines as well as her thoughtful and thorough communication. Alene has such a beautiful artistic combination of being able to embrace the abstract, while her work ethic remains structural and disciplined.”

“I am very happy to write this recommendation for Alene based on the exceptional work she provided as a freelance photo retoucher during my time overseeing creative ops at Food52. I was always impressed by her attention to detail, open communication, and consistently delivering assets in a timely manner. Alene's positive attitude and adaptability make her an asset in any fast-paced environment.”

“Alene was one of my top go-to freelance retouchers for all print and digital projects, including catalogs, editorial and PDP imagery. Alene's retouching and post production skills are top notch and she excelled at delivering final imagery back that was in line with our brand standards. She always hit the assigned deadlines (including 24 hour turnarounds at times), but was also proactive in flagging concerns that might impact the ability to deliver to the date requested. Alene is a true talent and I can't recommend her enough.”
