LONDON ISSUE 58 Oct 2006

Happy Finish is a collective of independent digital retouchers in London working for clients around the world. Recent work included the Diesel Camouflage, D&G Underwear and the Dodge ‘Anything But Cute’ campaigns.

Managing Director, Stuart Waplington, explains their rapid success in the following terms: “We brought together the best independent retouchers in the UK, and consciously kept Happy Finish non-corporate to maintain the creative edge. The retouchers continue to work directly one-on-one with the photographers and art directors. Clients love it because they get to choose the retoucher they want to work with rather than us choosing for them.”

More information can be found at their newly-re-launched website, which has individual portfolios of all the represented retouchers.
