Hilary Brooke On graduating in 1989 with a degree in graphic design, Hilary started as a junior retoucher with Graphic Pallette London – one of digital retouching’s pioneering companies. 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 London’s finest retouching studios including Metro Imaging (working with the pre-eminent fashion photographers of the day), Contour Colour and Saddington & Baynes. She co-founded blink in 2002.
