Retouching with Photoshop

Here are some on the original images of the photo shoots for my look and the images after I'd edited them. For the majority of the looks, the techniques I used in photoshop included cropping, adjusting the exposure and then erasing imperfections.  

Above is the original high summer look and below, the edited version. I cropped out the background to make my model's hair and face the focus of the image. I cleaned up the skin a little and also filled in her eyebrow.

 For this image, I again cropped the image down slightly and also filled in her brow. I also blurred the skin to give a smoother finish and adjusted the colour to make her curls more golden.

 The images from my skincare shoot required the most editing. First of all I adjusted the exposure levels to make the image brighter and altered the colours to make my model look less orange. I then cropped the image so her top wasn't visible and started to perfect the skin using the spot removal tool.

 For this image, after lightening and cropping, I used a different approach to give flawless texture to the skin. In photoshop, I used a layering technique I'd learnt from a YouTube video to professionally erase the uneven texture.

 This spring/summer shoot required the least amount of retouching. I was really happy with the lighting in the shoot so I just used photoshop to crop the image slightly and erase the dark circles under my model's eyes.
