My name is Neil Madlener, and I'm a digital artist and Photoshop specialist currently based in Manhattan, with a focus on illustration and photo retouching.
In 2021, I graduated with a BFA in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts in NYC.
Since graduation, I've worked as a freelance storyboard artist and character designer, as well as a Senior Photo Retoucher for Omnicom, handling high-volume retouching for digital and print media campaigns — including masking, background extension, frequency separation, and color/light correction. I currently work as an Account Management and Marketing Associate at Worth Media, where I design print and digital ad campaigns and lead visual/editorial design for the magazine.
I am currently open to freelance and contract retouching and illustration work. If you have any questions, inquiries, or would like to see examples of my retouching work, feel free to contact me at madlener.neil@gmail.com.
