I’m a portuguese high-end retoucher with over 20 years of experience in advertising industry.

In the past, I’ve worked as a prepress artworker and in-house retoucher in two of the major advertising agencies in Portugal – Young & Rubicam and McCann Erickson – but then followed my heart and signed onto a highly regarded image retouching studio in Lisbon.

Since 2008, I’ve been specialising in retouching only, with active collaborations with both a local photography studio and advertising agencies in Lisbon, such as BBDO and Ogilvy.

In the beginning of 2021 started a freelance partnership with Tupperware Brands – considered one of the world’s most admired companies – joining the team involved in producing the photographic content for Tupperware’s EMEA/North America websites and printed catalogs.

Along the way I’ve been learning from great professionals and gaining vast experience by collaborating in all kinds of brand campaigns.

All the best,

José Laurentino
