The role of the Senior Creative Retoucher is to push the boundaries of what we do, creatively and technically. To develop and perfect our imagery by supporting the graphic communication of our client’s marketing materials for all media types, globally. This includes simple to complex photorealistic retouching of high-end product stills to full room-set/location lifestyle and beauty imagery.
You will lead visually and creatively, setting the gold standard and crafting beautiful images that communicate our client’s engineering obsession. Your use of software will be innovative, with workflow and pipelines implemented skillfully to ensure final output of exemplary standard.
Working independently or within teams, you will use your initiative, dive deep into briefs, and communicate fluently with both commercial and creative teams. The role offers significant creative input, proactively leading your work development, and working closely with Art Directors, Team Leaders, and the Head of Art through key stages of image creation.
As a senior member of the image team, you will demonstrate high initiative and commitment to the team’s success. Flexibility and adaptability are essential. We promote a culture of knowledge sharing, vital for skills development. A collaborative approach to learning ensures a two-way flow of knowledge, with a passion for learning and teaching.
As an artist, you have mastered your production and post-production tools and have a fundamental understanding of what makes a successful image. Light, form, surface texture, and colour are your essentials. You know how and where to use them for maximum effect. Your desire to improve and perfect images is driven by attention to detail and perfectionism.
Your portfolio should showcase mastery of visual language, demonstrating both basic skills and innovation with intelligently crafted solutions. It should reflect a broad and deep interest in art and meticulous attention to detail.
Core skills include:
* Compositing: Excellent skills in combining visual elements into a cohesive image, creating the illusion of a single scene. Knowledge of managing assets from various 3D and 2D packages.
* Lighting: Deep understanding of how light behaves in real-world conditions to produce high-end photorealistic imagery, from traditional photography or CG experience.
* Retouching: Subtle, considered, realistic retouching with an excellent eye for colour and detail. Skilled in manipulating images confidently and quickly, with proficiency in Adobe Photoshop and other Adobe CC applications, including RGB to CMYK workflows.
* CGI: No specific skills required, but opportunities to develop skills in this area exist through collaboration with the CG team.
