Hi there! I’m Gonzalo, a freelance retoucher based in Norway, working with photographers, brands and agencies from all over the world.
Born in Argentina 35 years ago, I first discovered Photoshop in high school and have been playing with it daily ever since. In 2013, after a few years working as a creative at some of Buenos Aires' top advertising agencies, I realized I could actually make a living out of my Photoshop skills. So
I decided to quit my job and dive into a career as a self-taught freelance retoucher, which is a fancy way of saying “I had no idea what I was doing”, but somehow, it all came together.
Freelancing allowed me to travel the world while building my business. I lived in Australia and Thailand for a while, collaborated with amazing creatives from across the globe and had the chance to work for brands such as Adidas, Nike, Maybelline, Nestlé and Omega, among many others. In 2018 I arrived in Norway for what was meant to be a six-month in-house position at a retouching studio, but then I met Thea on my third day… and I’m still here.
Retouching is more than just work for me, it’s something I genuinely love. In a time where apps and filters promise magic results, and speed often comes at the cost of quality, I feel lucky to work with clients who value craftsmanship and take pride in a job well done.
