Retouch from a while ago...
09/05/11 17:30
I am a member of the model mayhem site and occasionally photographers offer images to “play with” to retouchers to sharpen skills and get feedback.
I admit I was out for a month with these images.
I will credit as well as I can the model “Polina” model mayhem number 1582745 and the photographer “Chad” model mayhem number 1385301
So to be clean then I did not actually take this photos and in no way are representing them as my own work.
I did however “retouch” them.
In the first image here, the red is a little dead. I know that this was shot with a nikon at 75mm, ISO 200 and f/8 at 1/200. I know that nikons do not work red all that well from experience with my D700 looking at the exif data this is a D700 as well using the nikkor 70 - 200mm f/2.8 so good glass on that annoying nikon body

I did the usual PP adjustments for skin, eyes etc. Played a little with the hair one as well then into LR3 where I played with the WB as well as the levels for the red. Might have gone too far now looking at the jpeg here but maybe not.
The other set is an implied nude I suppose in the parlance. I like the background and the texture of it
Again over to PP for skin etc. Now this one had a kind of odd WB I though I liked it farm more on the blue side (odd for me as I usually prefer warmer portraits)
On looking at it again today I shifted the WB back over to the warmer side. The blue was interesting but not really my style I suppose
Website Update

Did a little update on the layout etc.
Originally only was going to do a little blogging about retouching. Then got side tracked. Haha
Anyway what doe you think of the new look?
Took a bit to get it all settled but seems cool enough.
Cheers
