Soft Retouch option for portraits (4 images)
— mouse over to stop slides —
This “yard worker” portrait was a brutal lens test by my friend Lupe Magana—but a great image for
showing that “light retouching” can soften skin and make certain detail less distracting.
It’s similar to the effect I gave my early darkroom prints, by passing a percentage of the print exposure through stretched nylon. The effect can be appropriately fine tuned for each image, and is now offered as a standard option for all portraits. [9/13]
(wife says I should smile next time!)
and my mom said,
“Couldn’t you do something about your hair?”
And some say... “That’s way too subtle, I’d want more...!” — so watch this surprising video.
