I first learned the art of retouching by hand on film. Then when photoshop was in its infancy, I quickly learned the power of its tools. It was the combination of these two experiences that lead me to open Hand Digital.

The amazing power of software is only as good as the artist using it. I have years of experience retouching images in ways that leave them appearing to have never been touched at all, as though such perfection comes naturally from the camera.

Check out my work on this site and you’ll find that whether you’re a photographer who is seeking to enhance your vision, or a photo producer looking for perfection in a complex composite, you’ll get everything you hoped for, on time and on budget.

Thank you,

Joe Notaro
