On-Model Editing
On-Model Skin and Fabric Retouching & Recoloring
Enhancements, styling, and more.
My workflow is simple. My aim is to remove the distracting elements and highlight the important parts of an image. I run a series of processes including cleaning up the image, applying frequency-based smoothing, non-traditional dodging and burning, adjusting coloring and tone, and enhancing or subduing highlights.
Time is an important element when editing, so I like to work as quickly and organized as possible to ensure workflow eases time management.
