About Lightink

A senior eye, embedded in your process.

I’m Valentina D’Ettorre, a high-end retoucher working at the intersection of technical precision and photographic instinct. I collaborate closely with photographers, art directors, agencies and post-production teams, from first look to final master.

Creativity, attention to detail and colour, as well as strong photographic knowledge, are the key features of my work.

I enjoy working closely with my clients, helping to realise ideas, emphasise their unique style and achieve the perfect result together.

Based in Italy and working fluently within UK and European schedules, I’m available for campaign projects, ongoing collaborations and remote studio support.
