About “Ava Nguyen”
Photo/image retouching/editing is my passion as well as photography. I strive to deliver the highest quality within the shortest time and aim to constantly grow through self-developing in this fields.
I pay lots of attention to details, deliver on time, have a positive and optimistic attitude and passion for what I do bringing out the best in photos, with a very natural, clean and realistic look.
My major projects are focused on editing studio, portrait, beauty, fashion, corporate and lifestyle photography. I prefer using only non-destructive methods while working on skin, no blurring, mostly dodging&burning on the pore level (same technique as chosen by Annie Leibovitz for her portraits).

✓ general;
