Beauty Portraits

Hello Everyone,

This is officially my first "Behind the Scenes" blog post where I plan on giving you an inside look at how I do what I do. I hope you enjoy!

Earlier this year I was approached by a local makeup artist who was looking for help building a portfolio. Our goal was to create simple and diverse images that illustrate both her makeup skills and my photo and retouching work. We met up a few times and came up with the following images.

I’m pleased with the final results. As it turns out, watching countless Photoshop retouching tutorials online can be rewarding after all!

I’ve decided to post the before and after shots of the images to give you a better idea of the amount of work that goes into retouching. I’m planning on learning how to make gifs in order to create time lapse videos of my retouching. Stay tuned for more new work!
