Hi /p/
Just wanted to ask a few questions - I'm helping a friend out by taking some portfolio shots for her, I've got a camera, tripod and pretty good experience in photoshop etc, but is there anything I should watch out for? any tips or tricks? She needs about 30 photos but has a limited wardrobe

Pic related, it's got that filter that smoothes over the image, which filter in photoshop is that? (this pic has too much of it so obviously I need to use it sparingly)

Thanks /p/

Look at the websites of professional photo editors and touch up artists and you'll see how true that is. The garbage that "pro" photographers put out and the results that these people can produce from it is amazing. Shame that the artist polishing the turd from the photographer rarely gets the same credit.

copy layer+Gaussian blur about 20 + change layer mode to soft light/overlay + reduce opacity + mask out eyes hair.

They make a fuck ton of money if they're good though. Who cares about credit on that shit anyway as long as you're getting the big paycheck.

it comes with the title. Besides, it takes work from both a photo editor and a photographer to get the images high end clients want.

From what I've seen it looks like the photographers are getting sloppier and relying on the editors to do the real meat of the work.

That's actually a small image blown up with what looks like Alien Skin Blow Up. You can see the artifacts blown up as well.

And the end justifies the means in commercial photography. I've seen some portfolio sites of image retouchers that had EPIC SHOOPAN with before and after images. Just can't remember their names now but one guy did a lot of advertisements.
