Since we're already on the subject, here's a few more from the shoot. More, untouched. I hate the way my images look in a browser. Colors look all wonky to me. Yeah, thats what the pro's say, "wonky".

Whoa! I've been a litte busy planning a project, i guess a lot has gone on while i've been away.
^^Actually, that's how it happened, she turned and that's how it landed. :lol:
^^made me laugh
^^ Alpha is blunt (agree 100%), but always helpful(agree 90%:D) and truthful(Agree...
Hmmm. I can see what you mean now that you put it that way- how would you do it? Feel free to edit the photo, i wouldn't really know how to tackle that.
You may have stumbled across some very special art there my friend. That rat looks like the signature rat of infamous street artist, Banksy. That would be a pretty awesome to a guy like me. Some people just think he's a criminal, but personally i think his work is beautiful. Check it out...
I wasn't doing a full retouch, just trying to get the skin more realistic looking (one thing at a time). And as far as the cheekbones go, if she isn't smiling there really isn't a lot there. I mean, how do you say it politely... She isn't a terribly thin girl. I don't know her too well and we...
Ok so I backed i went back into my "soft" layer and backed to opacity off. Looks a little more natural, eh? Also, there are some tonality differences in this one from the first one i posted, i had to go back to a point before i merged a few layers and i don't have time to go back in and redo...
There's a few different ways i do it, but my quick and dirty way (and the way i did this particular time) i created a seperate layer, laid a really absurd surface blur, masked the layer, inverted the mask, and painted in with white at a low brush opacity. Then, like you mentioned, i play with...
Yeah... actually, the right side of her face and her arm are the only thing that was really touched. So apparently the parts that are bad are what i did in post-dang. She had some big pores and a little acne. I wanted to do as little as possible to it. I'll try backing off the softness a bit...
oh, I also make every single couple dance. Doesn't matter who they are or how much they protest or tell me they can't dance. I make 'em. Totally breaks the ice and gets them laughing and normally turns out to make a good photo or two.
I didn't suggest what to wearmore how to prepare for your shoot. I suggest things like: iron your clothes (sorry, but wrinkled clothes is not a style) and not to try a brand new hairstyle the day of, or new make up technique- These things only end up in a couple going- oh see, "i totally hate...
Hey everyone this is an engagement shoot that i did recently, I was hoping to get everyones opinion on which are the top 3 best of the series. Also, if there is something that looks like crap, i'd love to hear that too. This couple actually decided to have a family member shoot their wedding...
