HI, MY NAME IS ZILLA.
I am a creative creature. But most people call me a ‘photoshop freak’, ‘retoucher’ or ‘digital artist’.
My fascination for photo manipulation was born when I started modelling at the age of 16. I watched a photographer edit my body, which was weird and confronting. On the other hand, I was also intrigued by the possibilities and started experimenting myself.
Nowadays I am graduated from the Art Academy and working in post-production as a freelance retoucher.
To me, the creative process does not stop after a photo is captured – it has only just begun.
I am committed to create pixel perfection in visual storytelling
SPEND MORE TIME SHOOTING, LESS BEHIND A SCREEN
Leave the post-production part up to me, it’s what I do best. It is my passion to analyze an image and highlight its strongest parts. To tweak each and every pixel and color until it is perfect. And to search for options that stretch the boundaries of photographic possibility.
I will help speed up your photoshoot production time, and achieve consistent edits with eye-catching colors.
What I can help with:
- Color correction
- High quality natural skin retouch
- Remove unwanted distracting objects or persons
- Replace heads, bodies or face expressions
- Background swaps
- Cost-effective touch-ups
- Consistent coloring throughout the whole series
- Fast delivery to your clients
AFRAID THAT THE PHOTOS
WON’T HAVE YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE?
Don’t be. This is a collaboration. We will work together as a team to achieve the desired result. Just like you use a make-up artist or stylist to help create the right setting and vibe.
You can hand me your previous work or provide color references to show in what direction you want me to go. Or if you want, you can only leave the ‘boring’ work up to me so you can add your own finishing touch.
With the feedback rounds we will make sure to perfect the final outcome to your liking. I strive to provide services of the highest quality and deliver an end-product that makes you proud.
QUALITY FIRST
I am an absolute nitpick when retouching which means I won’t stop till everything feels correct and in balance. This has led to many publications and multiple Awards on my teams behalf.
Among others, these brands already trusted their imagery in my hands:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Because every project is unique in its own way, I do not work with a standard rate.
To be able to make a proper time and price estimate I need the following information:
- The images (or a description if they are not shot yet)
- When you provide the RAW files
- Deadline for delivery
- Notes on what has to be done
- Color references if needed
- Details about usage
Just want to know the expected price range for possible future work?
Send me an email with some examples of your photography work.
Either through WeTransfer, Dropbox or Google Drive.
If your series is booked in advance, the turnaround time is usually around 2-7 days depending on the amount of photos and type of retouch needed.
Please keep in mind that I can be fully booked multiple weeks in advance.
