About me

Hi. My name is Sergey Dibtsev (Сергей Дибцев). I am a retoucher and award-winning amateur photographer based in Moscow (Russia) with many years of experience in graphic design. My passion is to create/enhance digital images combining different retouching techniques for an exceptional range of creative, technical, and advertising purposes, and build eye-catching layouts. Here you can see some of my past and recent photos & artworks. Enjoy browsing.
