Retouching this editorial for Glamour Bulgaria felt a little surreal. I remember watching Eva Marcille on America’s Next Top Model years ago, long before retouching became my profession. Working on these images all these years later felt like a small connection between two very different points in my life.

APPROACH
The series moves between monochrome portraits, sculptural fashion looks and highly textured styling. My priority was to keep the finishing consistent while preserving what makes each image distinct and avoiding an overly uniform retouched look.
