Before and After

It's hard to believe that such a beautiful girl would need post-touch ups for a beauty shot. But as you have seen in my past posts, most models need some kind of "clean up".

In this particular case, I found myself wanting something a little more moody and contrasty than my original lighting allowed. In this photo, the first thing I did was to clean up any blemishes, followed with a skin smoother to both her face and shoulders. Afterward I created shadows behind her to more easily draw the viewer to her face. Of course, lastly, I created a color curve layer to compliment this particular model and photo.
