About us

Our History
Hilary Brooke. On graduating with a degree in graphic design, Hilary started as a junior retoucher with Graphic Pallette London, one of digital retouchings pioneers. These were cutting edge times working closely with creatives to push the boundaries of retouching in a new digital age. Subsequently Hilary moved to Obscura Systems as a senior retoucher, working with blue chip global ad agencies on iconic advertising campaigns, including a number of automotive accounts. She then embarked on a successful freelance career, working in many of the finest retouching studios including Metro Imaging, (working with the pre-eminent fashion photographers of the day), Contour Colour and Saddington & Baynes.
Mark Jenner. Inspired by a love of photography Mark joined Obscura Systems in 1990 as an account handler, before moving onto Moondance Creative as Sales Director. Mark has handled a diverse range of clients including multinational companies, ad agencies, design groups, photographers and individuals.
Our Body Image workshops
With increasing concerns on the pressure that young people face to confirm to a set image we run “Body Image” workshops within schools, targeting year groups 6-9. Being able to observe how images are enhanced, retouched and played with enables children to gain a new perspective helping them to question their values and judgement of their self-image. We feel that this is a valuable contribution that we as a company can make towards young peoples self esteem.
