How to do skin pores and skin tone like this

[meditom]

I have tried that only with dodge and burn.

It is dodge and burn with sharpening at the end. As said already.

Yes intricate, careful, time consuming thats the way most of it its done I'm afraid. Oddly there are some quite nasty smooth patches in there which look low opacity cloning or something. Sharpening (low radius) at the end.

Oh yea those where included in the Instant Vogue Skin action

It even says in the articles speding 50+ hours on each image with closeups in not uncommon....it doesn't take 50+ hrs to use a noise/skin map. After all the expensive makeup work some healing brush and hours of D&B would be my guess.

You are not up to date on the state of finances in the fashion world. These figures are history. Except for the retouching.

Ah yes, the simplest solution is the one to be preferred. Calculate in the time you have to spend starting over from scratch because all your efforts to make the quick fix work add up to mud, then make your choice.

And that's Occam's Razor.

I was really impressed by the photos of this guy. Even though they don't look so much glamour (I'm into glamour obviously) I still find his photos very artistic and totally outstanding. I also read the tutorial on skin effects, posted here and it works.. to some extent. I too think that you need quite alot to achieve such results. Personally I'd love to be able to come up with such results.

He must get his inspiration from somewhere.

I agree I think the work looks so forced and fake its so obvious that its starts to look like those HDR images I hate so much...I dont find anything special about the lighting...very easy to recreate...the retouching??? not for me.

[mtpfamily]

I dont know why magazines make evey one look fake. But here is a tutoral I found that alot of people seem to like the efect of and it doesnt take much time.. Its not natural to me and after learning the D&B I prefere that. So all I do is what the person wants. 9 times out of ten they pick this method
