My client wanted a naturally retouched final image. For this series, it was crucial to stay natural, not to take away from the authenticity of the images. As a retouch artist, I do prefer natural retouching. I really like to keep the image approachable, real; to show the true rawness. With that said, this project needed even more of a raw feeling. I needed to make sure I kept the image all about the intent, the photographer, the model, the makeup artist and less about the photo retoucher.
