What is that Photoshop Enhancement step, and what makes it better than traditional Retouching?
Flash photography does some wonderful things for the human face…and some bad things too — like overemphasizing dark areas under your lower lids while causing distracting speckles within the eyes. If there’s a flaw of any kind, the flash will find it. Photoshop allows me to eradicate the problems while maintaining the detail (“retouching” just blurs it) and, in essence, re-lighting you in the most favorable way possible…in the computer…after the shoot. Everything looks (and is!) natural. The actual ‘shoot’ takes about a half an hour; picking the best headshot takes another 40-minutes or so; the balance of the two-hours goes to the enhancement, printing, and burning the CD.
