Hi guys! I am new to modeling and just did my first photo shoot! I absolutely love seeing all different types of retouching and photo editing. I am going to post quite a few photos for you guys to work them however you would like. I would just like to see a variety of what people can do. They can be anywhere from absolutely crazy, Manichean looking to maybe whatever your best style is. Please send them in email to me first and after you do that, you are more then welcome to repost for yourself. These are all raw photos and i have permission for them to be edited! Thanks again!

I'm sure a few will bite, but to me this just screams of an attempt to get free photo editing on your part.
I do wonder, how and why you have RAW images to begin with??

Some are ok, some are not... I think that I would get the photographer to edit a few for you..

I'm new to all this. I'm not looking to get "free photos" thank you very much! I was wondering if people could tell me if they are worth editing or i guess maybe trying to show me some retouching skills because the guy who did my photo's doesn't do editing or no anything about it. He just gave me a usb drive with my photos on it and said there you go! So im kinda stuck on what to do..all im asking for is help...

Well lucky for you some of us out here do know how it is starting out and how appreciative people can be when they get the help they are asking for. I am capable of very high end retouching but sometimes the most fun is just doing some quick fixing and 'popping'. I know you're not expecting Vogue quality. So this is what I snagged and spent five minutes on if that. I hope you like it!

babydoll, I never got the file. if the cr2 is larger than 5 megs typical email host block it.

it compresses the file so that you can send larger file ..

lol so what if she is trying to get a few free photos for her port?? id say 80% of the people posting in here are trying to get something cool and pretty for their port for free... thats the whole point; you help me i help you. Thats what this site is about; a community of artists helping each other to grow and better them selfs. If you dont like it then dont comment... its your choice to edit the photos... no different than putting out a casting call for some trade work for an editor... so dont be a stupid head please... i hate when i see this kind of crapy bashing of one another on this site... were here to help not hinder, so please send your photos away... i love seeing all sorts of things. i dont care if i do 1000 photos for free as long as im learning and having fun... :-p

you would get a better response if you picked a few you really liked, and upload them on mediafire, or imageshack (free file hosting websites, that don;t require a userid).  then put the links to them here in your forum post..

we can then pick the one that is the most eye candy for us, since we get absolutly no benifit from this, other than practice smile
