Editing a maternity portrait

For this week’s post I recorded a time-lapse video of the retouching of one of Liuda’s maternity portraits.

For all the portraits I retouch I do a detailed skin mark removal and figure correction (in the same way that high-end fashion magazine portraits are edited). I also process the portraits for warm colours, natural skin tones, soft expressions, subtle contrasts, and a soft pastel colour palette. I love my photographs to “drip” with colour!

This video is a recording of a 30 minutes of retouching sped-up in just 2 minutes!

You can see all of Liuda’s portraits here.
