Before and After
I was perusing the threads in search of a retoucher and noticed that a number of responders posted links to their work but very few showed before and after photos. I would think before and after photos would be as crucial to a retoucher as before and after photos would be for a person that remodels a home or a person on a weight loss journey. Am I missing something here?

And even if you see it, you can't be sure that these photos have been stolen, so always ask for a test photo. Because I saw several pages in IG with my work Aug 09 23 05:00 am Link I suggest that you offer free retouching if the photographer will allow before and after. PS. I don't have Instagram.

Even I have the full model release, making someone angry and unflattering are not me. That's just me. Sep 03 23 12:15 pm Link |
