​

I’m Ali Woods, a seasoned photo retoucher with a BFA from UW Milwaukee and over 15 years of experience working with photographers, models, and globally recognized brands. My career highlights include collaborations with Kohl’s, Milwaukee Tool, and an 11-year tenure with Amazon’s subsidiary, Shopbop—an eCommerce leader in high-end fashion.

​

Specializing in product and editorial fashion imagery, I bring unparalleled expertise and attention to detail to every project. However, my versatility allows me to enhance all types of photos, from weddings and portraits to food and family imagery. My goal is to deliver high-quality results while saving my clients time and money by using the latest techniques and tools.

​

I’m proficient in industry-leading software, including Photoshop (with my trusted Wacom tablet), Lightroom, and Adobe Bridge. Recently, I’ve embraced AI-driven tools to tackle complex edits, such as creative background additions and intricate object removals. Whether you need quick blemish removal, color adjustments, or advanced compositing, I’m here to elevate your images to their full potential.

​

Let’s create something stunning together!
