We had the good fortune of connecting with DENNIS DUNBAR and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi DENNIS, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I was compelled by something inside to pursue a career as a retoucher. When I was in college I studied Engineering and quickly realized I greatly preferred photography to engineering. As I pursued a career in photography I started to hear of this coming technology, using computers to retouch photos, I felt compelled to do everything I could to learn about this and to find a way to make a career of it.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I add the Photoshop Magic to Movie Posters and images for ad campaigns. My work involves helping creatives make their vision come to life through my retouching, compositing, and color grading work. And my favorite part is I get to work with cool creatives on cool images.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
William James Warren, a photographer/mentor who became a close friend and member of our extended family. Anthony Nex, a photographer and friend who continues to do an amazing amount of work supporting the photography community.
