yes, a light touch is best only when necessary ❤

I was just retouching a 54 year old face without makeup today shot with the Sony A7riii. F3.2 and OMG, every single pore looked like the moon. Spent an hour retouching and another hour researching on lens filters. Sometimes I really miss the Pentax 67 and the 105-made Beautiful skin.

Finally at home! :-)

Totally agreed. I don't even use PS. I use Lightroom only 😉I try the best I can to take the best shot I can in the moment, not after.

Such an interesting and sensitive topic! I think personality is much more than just looks. When we're in love with someone through the years we tend to notice more beautiful things in our partners than our partner does in themselves. When kids love their parents, they see their inner beauty that comes not only from looks but also from character. Same goes for our friends. When you aware enough, especially as a photographer, you tend to notice the beauty within a person, their divine light. Of course we don't have that opprortunity with a star from a cover or a billboard to know them better. That's when beautify and retouch comes in, I think. To idealize them and somehow to show their inner beauty on their faces. It's a delicate balance between genuinity and idealization.

I’d love to know when you were planning your editorials at the biting of your career, did you supply your own clothes or hire a stylist ? Also if you use a stylist, do you pick the clothing or let them, and did you plan the locations before or after knowing what the clothes would be ?

Would you reveal the commercial side of retouching? how and where do you find retouchers, what are the average numbers?

We live in times where comunity went to fake their own look even on dating apps 😅

Photoshop is not so "dangerous" as AI... though many AI pics already look better and more realistic than heavily edited in PS 😜
