Hello I’m Diana.. I have learnt a lot in a short space of time, I am a published retoucher.. a HUGE perfectionist, I retouch pixel by pixel. I NEVER use blur, if a blur effect is wanted then I still retouch pixel by pixel to give that effect. I like the control it gives me for the overall image.
I’m very easy to work with and friendly. Many of my clients have also become good friends.

Photo retouching started out as a hobby for me which quickly turned into a passion.. I have retouched for a long time now and retouching has become my second activity (after working as photographer )
, I wouldn’t change it for the world. I love creating beautiful images and showing clients the potential of their work and I look forward to picking up more work through this website and expanding my business with new clients.

Flesh exhibition Coming Soon



Flesh Introduction

A Poem By Anonymous

Oh body, you are a gift of the Supreme.
Potentiality inexhaustible you have, deep within you.
To misunderstand you means to misunderstand
the chosen instrument of God.
You want not, you must not, you cannot conquer
the length and breadth of the world
with your physical strength.
Offer your growing heart
to the hearts far and near.
Offer your glowing soul
to the souls around, below, above. Then alone you become the conqueror
and possessor of God?s entire universe.
O my body, invoke your soul always
for you to lead. Invoke!
Never shall the monotony of the
uneventful life plague you.
With lightning speed yours shall be the ceaseless march . . . upward
to the Highest, inward to the Inmost, forward to the Farthest.
Sing, sing the song of Bliss in Immortality!
Breathe, breathe in the breath of Consciousness in Immortality!
Live, live the life of Existence in Immortality!
Death? Die you must not.
For your death will be a great loss to humanity and by far a greater loss to Divinity.
Fight, O my body, fight with ignorance to the bitterest end.
Never allow ignorance to envelop you, your outer cloak. Your tearing efforts shall be crowned with success.
O body of mine, fare you well for eternity.
May each earthly year of yours have a trillion fulfilling years.
God the Eternal Dreamer is dreaming
through you, with you.
God the Eternal Reality is living
for you, with you and in you.

Diana Castro: Limbo Introduction


The realm of the virtuous pagan dead. Christianity dealt with the problem of those who lived virtuously before the coming of Christ and unbaptized infants by placing these souls in a special part of Hell, called Limbo. Here they suffered no pain, but were excluded from heavenly bliss In the Divina Commedia the poet Dante (1265–1321) is guided through this place by Virgil, a resident himself.

Limbo Poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Tis a strange place, this Limbo!--not a Place,
Yet name it so;--where Time and weary Space
Fettered from flight, with night-mare sense of fleeing,
Strive for their last crepuscular half-being;--
Lank Space, and scytheless Time with branny hands
Barren and soundless as the measuring sands,
Not mark'd by flit of Shades,--unmeaning they
As moonlight on the dial of the day!
But that is lovely--looks like human Time,--
An old man with a steady look sublime,
That stops his earthly task to watch the skies;
But he is blind--a statue hath such eyes;--
Yet having moonward turn'd his face by chance,
Gazes the orb with moon-like countenance,
With scant white hairs, with fore top bald and high,
He gazes still,--his eyeless face all eye;--
As 'twere an organ full of silent sight,
His whole face seemeth to rejoice in light!
Lip touching lip, all moveless, bust and limb--
He seems to gaze at that which seems to gaze on him!
No such sweet sights doth Limbo den immure,
Wall'd round, and made a spirit-jail secure,
By the mere horror of blank Naught-at-all,
Whose circumambience doth these ghosts enthral.
A lurid thought is growthless, dull Privation,
Yet that is but a Purgatory curse;
Hell knows a fear far worse,
A fear--a future state;--'tis positive Negation!
