Headshot Retouching Tutorial
don't make it more than it is

"don't make it more than it is"
Retouching, I do it, and I recommend everybody do it for themselves. When you know the stuff and more and more work is coming towards you, go ahead and send your work to a retoucher.
But I love it, when retouching Advertising images I sometimes go different direction than I previously intended and end with an amazing result than no retoucher would ever pursue.
To get back on track: my headshot retouching is pretty simple and can be done easily in 15 minutes. One more note here - I've switched to Capture One 8 - yes I haven't upgraded to 9 yet. Capture 1 just makes my life easier - better image straight of the bat - less work for me. Yay!

Politicians, actors, management. If you are about to go to a meeting with somebody you don't know, if you have the opportunity to check them out chances are you're going to do it.
If you are voting for somebody there's better chance you will give to someone with genuine smile
Portrait photographers can select the props, wardrobe and location to help telling the story, but if you have only someone's face to work with? That is the challenge! And if you are shooting an employee that doesn't really want their headshot taken that's a challenge! Whether it's because of a bad experience they've had - and this happens a lot. I've had a lot of people coming to me with head full of questions no photographer ever answered. When I shoot I am the one in charge and keeping the subject busy and giving him directions.
