Most beautiful retouching I've ever seen
I'd give my left nut to be able to do this. Anyone know how he did it? http://500px.com/photo/11156153 http://500px.com/photo/29077009 http://500px.com/photo/19195525 F.

Mar 24 13 10:19 pm Link those are cool, I like the coloring. . . and there will be no cutting off of anything in this thread. Mar 24 13 10:23 pm Link This looks like the Painterly Look thread part 2!

I'd bet that the majority of those looks came right off the CF card. Mar 25 13 01:26 am Link Well, I'm willing to pay whoever may be able to teach me this technique. Lighting, makeup and wind seems simple enough, it's all in the colors, the eyes, texture... Mar 25 13 05:01 am Link They really are stunning!

A little D&B with some tone mapping on a properly shot image is all that's needed.

I'm sure I could duplicate it if I wanted... it's very similar to what I did in these two photos. Maybe I'll try one soon with these dark subdued colors and tones. I was not going for the ethereal look and his colors are very subdued and muted. But the principals and techniques I believe are the same. It starts with the lighting and a good capture and then you do the rest in photoshop. Lots of skin smoothing and D&B. On this below it was mostly the lighting.  I see he also did a lot of skin smoothing on red head.  Mar 25 13 03:27 pm Link Nico Simon Princely wrote: At first glancing the post. I thought you mean you can make the top picture into the bottom picture. That would be quite impressive. Worth the nuts if you ask me. Mar 25 13 03:37 pm Link I would trade all of my nuts to be able to do that...cashews and walnuts, both.

Mar 26 13 02:27 pm Link Hire world class models, expert photographer and lighting guy. Get a great base image.... That alone will account for a lot of what you see in that photo. Those same retouch techniques done on a snap shot, for example, would be laughable and hardly noteworthy. I do agree the images are beautiful, but a lot more than retouching went into creating them.
