Abbie Muntz
With a degree in Visual Communication, Abbie began her working life as a photographer but soon realised her interests lay more in working on the images in post, behind the computer. Spotting a gap in the market for quality, specialist retouchers, Abbie honed her skills and restarted her career as freelance retoucher at various places including Electric Art & ACP, which led to a full time position at Harper’s Bazaar as the Digital Image Specialist (aka: retoucher).
There she was able to work with the cream of Australian and international photographers including Stephen Ward, Jonathan Bookalill, Jason Capobianco, Theimo Sandler, Alan Gelati, Harri Peccinotti, Steve Heitt, Stephania Paparelli, Bruno Ripoche, Sophie Delaporte and Lee Jenkins relying on Abbie to fine-tune their images.
Abbie now has her own fashion-based specialised retouching studio, FauxPink, with clients ranging from Steven Chee and Richard Freeman to Jeans West, Westfield, Domayne, Ricki-Lee, Myer, and Nike. Her attention to detail and technical skills make her one of the most sought after retouchers in the country.

I'm one of the older ones, so I've certainly seen a few changes in my time. When I started school I learned to write with a nib pen, dipped in an inkwell (no, I'm not kidding).
