Description

Hi, I'm Marco.

I've been working as a professional image editor for over 20 years now. My roots are in classic high-end retouching for international advertising agencies, but I've fully embraced the world of "AI Hybrids". For me, it's about combining two decades of craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology to get the best out of every pixel.

I am a trained media designer (IHK) and work as a "freelancer on the road". This gives me the flexibility to work from anywhere while staying closely connected to the fast-paced agency world.

Whether it's creative retouching, complex AI compositing, or technical print preparation – I still have the same fascination for images as I did on day one. I simply love what I do.

This is how I can support you:

• High-end Creative Retouching & Compositing

• Digital & AI-Hybrid Workflows

• Color Grading & Management

• Prepress & Production Support

I'm always happy to hear from you for a casual chat or inquiries about new, exciting projects.
