Recent Retouching Before/ Afters

DanOstergren · Oct 16, 2015

I've been putting a lot of effort into improving my retouching skills lately, and really hope it's been paying off.

Here are a few of my most recent edits. When I retouch the skin, I use a combination of the spot healing brush tool, dodging and burning. It takes me roughly 2 hours to finish an image, but sometimes can take up to 6 hours.

Well I can say the results speak for themselves. The editing your doing is very good and doesn't look overdone. very nice

Thank you. I've been focusing a lot on finding a balance between keeping it real looking, but also bring out the natural beauty with retouching. I use my lighting specifically to go with my style of retouching as well, that way there is less to do when I retouch the photo.
