FYI, when you respond to a help wanted thread that is a year old it really doesn't say much for your attention to detail...

I am a Uk based Pro Photographer currently working on building my book of beauty and fashion personal work.With the idea of magazine submission work in 2008.

These are currently test shoots , where the model makeup artist, stylist & my self work for free on shoots of no commercial value to build our work for self promotion.

I am looking for a Retoucher to join this team, who can be involved with our concepts.

I do work with an amazing Hi End retoucher on a test shoot basis at present, but need other retouchers to work with on the same basis.

If you need Hi res images & are interested in working with me please get intouch.

I am available on skype or PM me here.

Hi there, I can do it... dont have uploaded any before/after so send email and we chat beni@dimagix.com I would do some for free (not more than 10 though), but lets have a chat before you decide

I always try to make real looking retouches, not plastic wrapped/fake-looking ones. If you see some of my retouched photos you just cant tell they were retouched at all. <-- thats the magic of a good job, I guess


Cheers.

I am a member on many forums and I really get tired of people praising bad work just to be nice. Who does it help? Retouching's work is not that great... come on. I am all for the enthusiasm and wherewithall but to me it's all about the quality of the content.

DABBLER suggests desultory habits of work and lack of persistence <a dabbler who started novels but never finished them>. TYRO implies inexperience often combined with audacity with resulting crudeness or blundering <shows talent but is still a mere tyro>.
