Some of my Digital Re-touch work

[Forbidden]

Hey all,

I just thought I would share some of my re-touch work I recently did.

I think each re-touch artist has their own unique “style†that they bring to each project. If multiple people were to re-touch the same image, you will see that each artist has their vision of what the image should look like.

Re-touching doesn’t always have to be “extreme†in nature. It can range from simple adjustments to complex error corrections and re-styling.

This piece was a lot of fun to work on. Her makeup, styling and shots were all done professionally but she just felt the image lacked something … She explained that they were going for a “60’s glamour look with a mix of modern day pin-up.â€

For my color re-touch I didn’t want to do a vintage pinup look. I wanted to do a girl next door (playboy) look, meets bad girl (hustler).

60’s B&W glamour photos were about stark color contrasts … So with my B&W re-touch I wanted to do something more traditional 60’s. Soft, fragile looking skin, deeper eyes etc.

Hope you all enjoy them. Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

If you should have any questions feel free to message me on here or on MySpace.

Thank you! Feel free to download them so you can zoom in and get a better perspective. I was very limited to the size of the image I was able to upload.

Thank you. I am norm not a huge fan of B&W but some images really work well under B&W and this is definitely one of them.

I LOVE both version.

B&W for the photography view

Colour Re-touch for the makeup point of view. The colour much more alive and really brings out the makeup look.

Looking forward to see more!
