"Professional" Retouching Portfolio - StudioJ - Aug 6, 2005

I don't know if any of you have seen this site, some interesting retouching but for me I think a lot of it is rather extreme.

Hmm. He certainly works hard on these photos. Some of his retouching is really excellent. In some cases,the skin looks a little plastic - but maybe that is appropriate.

I would not have had the nerve to do some of the "enlargements" that he does though.

Some of the retouches are a little extreme, but I am sure they would work great for magazines or album covers.

I prefer a more natural look for humnas usually! Very nice work though.

LOL, I remember seeing one of his covers at the supermarket checkout, and thinking "what an amateurish retouch job! Can't believe that's on a magazine cover!" And yet, there it was ...

What's with all that orange skin??? :o

Images have that "over done" look to them, however it may be what the client is after. Some of them do look slightly cringe-worthy I must say!

I agree that alot of them look way over done. Personally though I like to do as much retouching as I can get away without it looking like it was retouched.
There was one photo in there that I thought was completely ameture looking. I had similar results when first learning PS

Looking through the site a bit more I see that his work has been used on many front covers of glossy mags. Also, has anyone else noticed that American retouching and European / Australian retouching seem to have different styles? Perhaps it is just the sites I have come accross?
