Cris Paulino, Visual Artist & Senior Retoucher
I’ve always been fascinated by the power of images to turn concepts and ideas into something we can feel. That fascination with visual art, color balance, and perception has guided my career. It led me to post-production, where careful craft can reveal the full potential of an image.
I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with talented photographers and top advertising agencies across Brazil, Mexico, the USA, and Canada, translating their vision into final imagery for multimedia campaigns. These collaborations have shaped my craft - grounded in premium retouching and complex composition. I bring particular sensitivity to light, texture, color and natural skin and hair.
My practice continues to evolve, integrating new tools and AI into my workflow to push creative boundaries while keeping the care and nuance of handcrafted work as my priority. More than 20 years into this practice, I remain curious about what an image can become. I am grateful to the people who invite me to explore that possibility with them over the years.
My services are specialized in:
•On-set and remote collaboration - partnering with creative teams through pre-production planning and photoshoots to minimize time and cost. I offer transparent estimates, reliable timelines, responsive communication and independent delivery.
•Creative compositing - end to end complex high-end image construction, bringing multiple elements together including photo, 3D and AI generated images through consistent lighting, perspective, texture and colour.
•Premium retouching - from a single hero image to a complete campaign, I offer full service creative retouching including people, still life, and products across beauty, luxury, fashion, automotive, food (appetite appeal), and architecture.
My collaborators include major agencies and brands:
