Hello, my name is Algis, 33. I'm Lithuanian. Most of my experience is related with publishing. I worked for 10 years in various lithuanian publishing houses as layout maker-designer. I'm working with most of publishing software: Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator, QuarkXpress, Page Maker, Corel. Unfortunately I was sacked because of redundancy from my last job. After one year of unsuccessful job seeking I decided to move to UK. It's seems that all publishing industry (newspapers, magazines, books or anything that could be printed on paper) in Lithuania is going to hell.
Before loosing my job I got interested in retouching. I watched many tutorials about it made by Krunoslav Stifter, Calvin Hollywood, Natalia Taffarel, Vitaly Druchinin. And also tried to retouch few photos. After loosing my job I had no time for retouching for 2 years. But actually I never forgot about it. And I think now it's a good time for me to have the second start as retoucher.
My goals are simple: get more experience in retouching, become a professional and start to work in some retouching studio or as a freelancer.
I think Model Mayhem could help a lot to reach these goals. Sometimes I need an advice what I did wrong in one or other photo. After getting some experience it's possible that I could give advices to others. It also would be great to participate in some retouching contest here. Or just scroll the forum and look for something that would be interesting to know about Photoshop. Or maybe discuss about something with other forum members.
