General
We’re a creative group of photographers & retouchers, here to teach you all the secrets about our photography & retouching! No egos, no limits! You can find more about us here.
We launched Retutpro in Jan 2014, but its roots originated in early 2009 when Manni started out with his first photography & retouching blog. In 2013, Manni moved over to Youtube and started a photography & retouching channel, which after time and many collaborations turned into a new venture 'Retutpro'. Fast forward to the present and Retutpro consists of Manni and a few other creative individuals, operating from a designated studio! And it keeps growing every day! xx

Questions for the Team
Photojaco aka Jaco is a freelance photographer and personal assistant to Manni at the Retutpro Studio.
Trial & Error. He taught himself for the most part. But as most things in life, he was also seeking for help. His biggest mentor was Calvin Hollywood, who gave him a head start with the professional Photoshop world.
He first started playing around with Photoshop in the year of 2007, which at that time helped him to edit and enhance his digicam shoots! In 2008 he attended a photography college for a year and finished a basic photography course. The years of 2009, 2010 & 2011 he assisted a few photographers & retouchers. Since 2012 he’s a freelance photographer & retoucher and still learns every day!
We try our best to release about two interviews a month. These include photographers, retouchers, art directors, clients, make-up artist, assistants and many many more! You can find them all here in our creative cave!
