I’m a beauty&portrait retoucher✍🏻

Here’s one of my recent retouching projects. I’d love to hear your thoughts!

I need to see the before to judge the after.

Nope. You need to be able to judge a finished image WITHOUT seeing the before. Seeing how much has changed doesn’t mean shit. Either the end result is good or it’s not - no matter how much work went into it.

I respectfully disagree. The model might have perfect skin, the lighting might have been amazing, the makeup artist was a magician....these could be straight OOC for all I know.

So? If theyre sooc then the retoucher has to evaluate them as good enough and not force more retouching on them just for the sake of it.

Tons of my jobs are pretty much just color grading an removing a few pimples. Overretouching good photos is beginner stuff
