I Paid 5 Strangers On Fiverr To Retouch My Pro Photography

[@kat_kami]

The fact that the $5 removed the zipper shows you the commitment and attention to detail!

[@madisonstephens5945]

He kept the seaming down there too instead of just coloring in black

[@madisonstephens5945]

And like the hair part 🤩 crazy

[@CallMeGameGirl]

For 5$ I would have expected to adjust the lighting of the photo and taking away the fly aways. Just the really obvious stuff. But nope. They went full out for 5$. He definitely under charging.

[@bubby3007]

and once again we're all shocked by the $5 ones

[@sarahwithstars]

What a keeper!!

[@diane4901]

At this point i wonder if people know its jessica and go all out to get free promo on youtube

[@CRivasentertainment]

That’s why it should’ve been kept at $5 as the name suggests lol

[@MillaExplores]

Yeah it's really good :o

[@nahbirdie4773]

Thing is usually people who do dirt cheap are ones either doing a side gig or they're fresh out out on the field looking for experience and are probably pumping up more than the price worth. Sometime they're really good and they're going up n beyond. But regardless of that, they're doing too much for 5$. They should be charging higher. For sure.

[@GGg-qr6vw]

That five dollar one was so goood for five bucks!

[@rivervixens06]

Right? I would’ve paid them to retouch mine

The $100 was definitely magazine cover worthy but the $5 was excellent value for money...he needs to charge more lol

[@natashaacg]

I agree!!

[@Sam67515]

Personally I don’t like the 100$ one a lot, yes it’s maybe more clean but I feel like he got rid of the authenticity of the original ( like the fact he got rid of the background for just an unique color ,he changed the hair line and even redid her eyebrows but this one is still okay ) but this is just my opinion , for me I feel like the 5$ was the BEST

[@kristinabalevska385]

@@Sam67515 yessss 100 one was trash. If the colour was more vibrant and matched the vibrancy of her shirt and skin it could've made it better but I'm never forgiving anyone who changed the shape of someone's face/body

$5 guy should really be confident of his worth. He has the same attention to detail with the $250 pro one. This is such an interesting experiment btw

[@alexandermata6182]

i think some of those who start at $5 are just new to fiverr but can get the job done, theres a big competition in there

[@PaolaLozanoYoga]

Exactly

[@oliviam9737]

$5 and $250 had the best attention to the little details I feel like. They’re the only ones that cleaned up the hair part and the little tag on the neckline and the bumps on the shoulders...and the skin retouching on both looked really natural

[@GMD0602]

If we have learned anything... It's that the $250 one was awesome...and the $5 one is a close second... That $5 person is GOING PLACES 😅

[@emilyesnyman]

They may ask more :)

[@HOTHRLADY]

The 100$ one adjusted her part to the middle that’s why it looks like her head changed

[@PaolaLozanoYoga]

True

[@Hamster_Watching]

$5 person is the $250 two years ago. Both are really good

[@Coachadiel]

Best skin: $100 Best attention to detail: tie between $250, $5 Best value: $5 Best Instagram picture: $5 Best editorial style: $100 Best you get what you pay for: $10

The $100 one evened out the eyebrows definitely! I’m not mad at it though my fav were the $5 and $100.

[@kevinjansen9583]

yes i really loved the 5$ and the 100$

[@redacikockaite981]

Same😍

The eyebrows were fine before it didn’t need to be fixed cause now the model doesn’t look like herself, it’s a slight but noticeable difference. Everything else was perfect!! He’s definitely my fav. Amazing job!

Should get in touch with the $5 one and tell them they should charge more! They deserve more!

I love that the $100 one damn near looks like an album cover.

[@plan4life]

You can definitely see the last two are the more “professional” edits, but that doesn’t necessarily make them the best. The $100 is the cleanest edit, the $5 is pretty darn good though and looks the most natural.

[@lindaleighton]

These $5 people never know their worth. Have more confidence in yourselves! EDIT. Skin on $250 is fire.

[@Hannahsx]

Most of the time it's just to get a portfolio for themselves

[@kulpreet5137]

For portfolio and for beginners. Bcz clients hire experts or pro for high range price orders.. so without having impressive portfolio $5 sellers cant demand more or they won’t get orders

[@misslinguinni]

Didn’t care for how they warped the model’s head/face in the $100 to make her eyes and brows more symmetrical. I like that one of her eyebrows is arched higher in the original image! It adds expressiveness!

[@MillaExplores]

So true! I didn't like the $100 one either

[@cepahreinholt8710]

Same. I feel the 100 one was kinda bland because of it's obsession with symetry.

[@suzanneaubin7599]

Yet my eyes naturally find the $100 the most beautiful of them all due to this small detail. 🤔

[@zeni-ee4vl]

Yes!!!!

[@Setres09]

Agreed fully... I was frustrated with that one because they changed the model's face so much. There are no straight lines in nature and the way they "corrected" her face just bugged me.

[@asishter9789]

It's crazy to see the difference between the original one and the last two, it really puts into perspective how much work is behind every single photo we see online. Love this kind of videos

[@eora5142]

[@karaleecupcake]

The $5 one did so much for only $5! The $100 one looks like it's for a magazine, but it's weird how her head was changed. The $250 one is my favorite out of them all with the $5 one being my second favorite! Also the next Fiverr video you do you should guess the prices! That was fun when you did it last time!

Lool its because of the background and size of the pic

[@Chippychops7]

So basically the $5 guys need to really evaluate their worth.

[@starsackaney4996]

Totally agree.

[@CeliaLewis-f8m]

On the $10 one, I personally like the warmer subject being contrasted by the cooler backdrop, in my opinion it’s a great way to add a subtle sense of separation between elements and subconsciously makes her stand out a lil’ more, using colour variations to implicitly add depth to the image. In my opinion, sometimes warm subjects on warm backdrops can blend together and you can lose some of that pop. Ultimately, it’s all subjective and it depends on how cohesive you want the visual style to be. Great video!!

[@lissq2769]

Yeh I think the 10 is underrated

[@sarahmikael]

The 5$ the 100$ and the 250$ all turned out so great, I can’t even pick one

[@808rocker808]

I love how natural your humour is and not forced just simply hilarious.

[@mixxinmel]

for $5 that was amazing. The $250 one was hit all the way out the park.

[@subifuwant9583]

If we had to choose $250 vs $5 we would all pick $5 😂

[@achookangaroo]

Unpopular opinion but the most expensive 3 were WAY overedited for my style. I know that’s the magazine style, but I like my portraits to actually document a person and their skin, hair, whatever else. Yeah you can take off a giant volcano zit, but imperfections are what make my favorite images so beautiful!

[@lissq2769]

Yeh it’s a completely different style/approach/purpose so I feel like you can’t really compare. Personally I like the more documentary style portraits as the magazine style ones for me seem a bit soulless/cold/corporate. That said I can still appreciate their skill in editing but to me it just seems unnecessary like the studio look wasn’t the vibe I got from the raw image so it seems odd to try and force it

[@dembonez19]

I love how the $5 retouch is maybe two steps away from matching the $250 one.

[@SummerLangereis]

I love the skin retouch and toning of the 100$ one but hate that he changed her face so much! The 5$ one was great for being a 5$ edit 👌🏻

[@Lillith8810]

The $250 one was definitely the best, however I think the $5 one was really good for the value. They should charge more for their work.

[@Justin_isslpng]

The fact that the $5 and $10 ones look better than the $50 one…

[@gretchensims9417]

[@lauracalderon8941]

[@tamannarahaman07]

Yess!

[@hawkeyescoffee6399]

I guess it depends on whether you want a retouch to include altering a person's actual features. As pointed out the $100 warped the image slightly, in order to even her face out, so the right side (as you look at the screen) looks lowered, it effects her eye & brow but also the top of her head slightly. I don't like that, they've altered a fundamental structure of her face, do they know what the pic is for (eg do they think it's personal to hang on the wall, give to mum etc or like a magazine cover? I guess it would matter, because the latter would likely not care if her face shape changed but if it was personal then you don't want to look like someone else.🤷. I think $5 and $300 are equally my faves.

[@kristinabalevska385]

this is so true. I completely disagree with warping the shape of a face/body on a model

[@sym2988]

My fav was $50 because it still kept the mood of the original picture looking like indoor lighting in twilight. I understand people prefer the more warm editorial touchups but if i am shooting indoors in a particular kind of light, I would probably want to retain that mood in the final picture..

[@kjeracarroll450]
