Erlingur Einarsson

I was the Editor of Photoshop Creative magazine from May 2017 to September 2018 and during that time, I worked frequently with Simon Skellon, who was a regular freelance contributor to the magazine. He wrote tutorials and designed artworks for us, most frequently these would be in the genre of photo-editing and photomanipulation. His work was always of an extremely high standard, and his creativity was a vital ingredient to our content. He turned his work in on time and to the brief without fail, and was always a positive communicator too. making him one of my favourite collaborators on that or any magazine I’ve edited. I thoroughly and whole-heartedly recommend him as a visual artworker, writer and collaborator.
