Emma Jacob , London, United Kingdom

I am a versatile and very successful PROFESSIONAL RETOUCHER with a wealth of technical and commercial skills acquired across a wide range of demanding projects, with 10 YEARS EXPERIENCE within the FASHION, BEAUTY and PRODUCT sectors working with large and independent clients.

After initial studies in photography, I graduated with a BA in Design, starting as a graphic designer in national outdoor advertising. I then went on to specialise in fashion and lifestyle illustration for international brands including Barclays, Boots and Universal Records.

Later on, I progressed into retouching and after refining my skills as a high-end fashion and beauty retoucher I went on to co-found Isolarity Ltd in 2011. Since then I have collaborated with photographers and agencies around the world to deliver projects for advertising campaigns, editorials, lookbooks and e-commerce.
