Ratio of Men to Women

[Vikki]

(Let's see if I can figure out how to create a poll......)
Just curious about the ratio of men to women who are active in the restoration business.

[Ed_L]

I can't take part in this one Vikki because I'm not in the business. But I do restorations simply for the enjoyment of doing them.

I'm not active in restoration as a "business" (do it as a hobby for friends / relatives), but wanted to "vote" to give your poll some action.

[Vikki]

Actually, I didn't mean it the way I wrote it. I really only meant "interested" in photo restoration.

[Ed_L]

Aha! Now I've voted in the poll.

Ed

[ItzRandy]

I've voted too! But I must admit, I was a bit troubled that a third option of "Undecided" wasn't included!

[Justame]

I am doing it now for the challenge and I enjoy it. Hopefully will be doing it professionally soon.


Oh....I am male btw

[Ed_L]

Welcome aboard Justame. Good to have someone else interested in restorations. Looking forward to seeing your work.

I have done retouching, and even some restoration. I do not consider myself in the same class as some here, whose work I have seen and admire. I feel that I am at the point where if I were to do restoration or retouching for a living I would have to devote too much time to the process. The hourly rate thing would bring my "salary" down to below minimum wage, IF that was the scale I used as a reference.

[alceria]

Whoa, the girls are quite outnumbered!

Just remember, Lynn - it's quality, not quantity that counts

(kidding guys... I just had to say it... )

[Lampy]

I do restoration and manipulation for fun and I am also in the beginnings of a little career

Still have lots to learn, but hey this site looks great for that!

Kissed!

Believe it or not, my business consists mostly of traditional (with brushes, dyes and oils) retouching, enhancement and oil coloring for professional photographers.
I now do most all of my restorations in PS, or a combination of PS and handcoloring, and am still learning on a daily basis. This site is amazing!

I have seen many exciting techniques on the Forum and look
forward to learning from the many talented folks on here.
Believe me it is really appreciated whether or not your a
Male or a Female.
I would like to Thank everyone for participating in it and

One more female...

[CourtneyConk.Co]

Ive been doing traditional and digital retouching for too long now.....

[grafx]

Posting to count my estrogen in

[Flora]

.... another female .....

[kbeatrice]

I'm just beginning in this endeavor, but it seems to be a trend for me to pick male dominated fields! Previously I did software design and development.

[Duv]

I don't think the gals will ever catch up. Come on ladies!!

Cheers
Dave

[JLC]

Another female here

[Vikki]

I find it interesting that there are more men than women here. I wonder why that is?

[rew213]

I've been curiously hanging around on the fringes for a few years, now I think I am ready to step in and really get started, hopefully as an add-on to a portrait photography business. I hope to be ordering a new system soon, including a Wacom tablet.
