- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
At the risk of opening a can-o-worms, I'm curious how everyone feels about retouching/photoshopping their portraits (boudoir, senior pics, casual shots, etc.). That is to say photoshopping or retouching like magazines do with models, or the some (not all) photographers do with everyday people. They remove every hair, blemish, they change the position of a hair on their head, and or whatever else.
I know that some of this is an extreme, but I'm just curious how people feel about it, and what all they do and or don't do?
Personally I want to photograph the real person. Now I'm not saying I won't touch-up the photo, but I'm leaving the person in the shot. Oh you've got a pimple, sure I'll take care of that, but I don't like to make the person "perfect" or what have you. There is so much that can be done there isn't a way to properly describe what I mean. Rather at the moment I can't properly describe it.
All that being said thoughts, your personal style, or preference?
