Photo retouch work

Photographs by Damien Smith retouched by myself with Photoshop and Lightroom for an online campaign.

This was a very dark image. I lightened it up and brought out the colours. I seperated the model from the foreground by blurring the background layer.

I recoloured the shot and added some blur. I fixed some imperfections on the skin but left a beauty mark that is a signature part of the model.

Using additional shots taken of the background, I expanded the frame by adding more of the door and wall surrounding the model. Recoloured and added vintage photo look and frame as requested.

I lightened up the image and added warmth while creating shadows and highlights . I removed many fine stray hairs and left the rest to frame the model’s face.
