Here's a few before/after images to show my approach to retouching/colorizing my photography. I've developed a sort of style where I stray from complete black & white and colorize it a bit. Or, with color, I gray it down a bit. I think my art has begun to transcend my self. I just came to this epiphany while throwing these few sample images together in an attempt to create a price list and give those inquiring an idea of how I work, and how I might make them look. I've always known that I don't see anything entirely in black or white, or left or right. I say this during debates, and I voice it in my poetry. It is now evident that I show it in my photography. I didn't realize this until now. But yes, my photography is indeed an extension of self. It's a visual map of how I see things--quite literally.
When photo retouching, I will:
- soften/lighten under eye circles
- whiten teeth
- remove pimples
- smooth complexion
- soften wrinkles
- remove cellulite
- remove any stray threads, hairs, or imperfections in the photo
- make you look the best you can without making you like a plastic surgery victim!
