CLIENTS

important information

I am working for many international beauty/hair, fashion and commercial clients. Due to NDAs and legal contracts I am not allowed to showcase a lot of my work online. In case you are interested in insights such as before&after or work not showcased online, please reach out via email to schedule a video call or in person meeting.

what clients say

"Jan is an excellent and very experienced retouch artist. For our beauty/hair productions for clients like Henkel, Syoss or Armani as well as for our beauty and fashion magazine TUSH, Jan has proven to be a strong and reliable partner. He understands exactly how I see my images and perfectly implements all wishes for us at the 'final touch'."

Armin Morbach | beauty/hair & fashion photographer, CEO TUSH magazine

"Jan is an excellent partner in all things retouching. Having worked with multiple retouching artists in my career, his eye (and taste) for beauty is one of the best out there. He has an uncanny way of elevating images, even those that are already at a high level, while keeping the integrity of the artistic approaches taken by others before him. Working like an extended part of the brand team, he strives to understand the brands and concepts inside-out before working his magic. As a brand leader, Jan’s high-quality work, coupled with his outstanding client management skills, has given me reassurance that we can delight consumers with every image he retouches."

Xylem Thomson | former international marketing manager at Henkel

"In addition to his craftsmanship and technical expertise, Jan stands out in particular for his attention to detail and dedication to the image. As a retoucher for our internationally published beauty and fashion magazine TUSH, or various customer orders, he has distinguished himself as a strong and reliable partner. What is particularly noteworthy about Jan is that, in addition to his technical expertise, he does not lack the interpersonal skills and empathy that are needed above all when making the "final touch" in the creative process of a production. He always knows exactly how to respond to the needs of his clients and implements every wish to perfection. We are always grateful for his work and his person."

Ariel Oscar Greith | chief creative officer at MORBACH GROUP | TUSH Magazine | HOWTODO Production

"I had the pleasure to work numerous times with Jan over the last years – both on editorial as well as on commercial jobs. What really stands out to me is on the one hand Jan`s joyful and positive attitude towards life and his kind spirited mind and on the other hand his super professional approach and work ethic. Jan always comes up with a solution, no matter how tough the situation is. He keeps a calm mind even with the tightest deadline and delivers even more than asked for. This is where his years of experience really play out and his excellence in postproduction truly shines."

Per Appelgren | beauty & fashion photographer

"Jan is a highly reliable and professional retouch artist. His passion and dedication to deliver the best possible result and his understanding of complex production processes make him an excellent addition to our team. Therefore it is priceless for us to have him with us on set during our productions. In particular I appreciate his eye for balancing light and color and for applying color grades to a series of images to bring them all together to become one family."

MOJA | fashion & fine art photographer

"When working with Jan, I especially appreciate that he knows how to read me and my image style and bring my vision for a series of images to life. Whether it's beauty/hair productions or fashion campaigns, in addition to his fine sense for a subtle and natural optimization of the subject, Jan knows perfectly how to develop a color grading that connects the subjects of a campaign/editorial and lets them tell a story. The most striking thing about working with Jan for me is the synergetic part, so the retouch artist becomes an enriching, creative full-fledged part of the team, who masterfully catches my balls and throws them back with great skill."

Ava Pivot | beauty & fashion photographer

"I have worked with Jan on many projects and whether it was portfolio work or international campaigns on behalf of clients, the result has always been the same: both I and my clients have always been extremely satisfied. Jan is an absolute expert and knows how to turn every briefing into fantastic results. No matter if it is fashion, beauty or commercial productions."
