I earlier talked about dropping my retouching processes for photography and retouching experts.
Complete retouched image
I assisted Mjphotography in shooting this image some days back. It was really great moment shooting this beautiful client.
One of the challenges we faced during this shoot was posing our subject.
Our subject wasn't a professional model, but for the purpose of the shoot we had to find a way and pose her as a model.

Raw Image processing
CaptureOne remains my favourite raw image processing software.
CaptureOne gives editor the flexibility to adjust image the way you want.
You can make changes to exposure, contrast, Brightness, Saturation, Highlight, Shadow, White,Black.
Here's my image work flow on Photoshop
- Cleaning the Background
- Removal of Blemishes
- Frequency Separation
- Doge and burn
- Skin toning
I worked with my Hue/saturation layer to add and desaturate some colours from my images.
I reduced my reds by -9.
Levels is used to add contrast to the image. Pushing the level slider from left to right will add some sort of contrast in your image.
I spent few hours to have a perfect retouched image. It's been my editing images.
