Our distorted view of beauty

Symbol Photography — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 21:10:22 +0000

Fun Friday post is here! This video goes to show how far retouching in photoshop can go in order to bring upon a sense of beauty. While we have the ability to retouch very similarly to what you see in this video, we never do that unless requested by the client. The reason this goes too far is the retouching of the eye sockets, nose and neckline. But you have to admire the speed in which it was done. (Granted the video is fast-forwarded). In weddings our retouching isn’t as ‘destructive’ to the original face as this retouch is.

We typically clear up skin, remove wrinkle lines, remove shadows around eyes, and possibly bring in bulges or fill in bald spots on men. We don’t do anything without the client telling us they would like us to do that. But we do perform it on every single image. And we still deliver in a faster timeframe than most.

Enjoy your Friday!

We’ve certainly met some brides on the brink of this:

You can tell when you go over the packages and their eyes start to glow over. Have a great weekend everyone! We are off to Newport for Kanasha and Dayo’s beautiful seaside wedding!

P.S. – We apologize for not putting up any new pics this week. We’ve been rather swamped. There will be some new ones coming this weekend. Keep an eye out!
