Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns retouching - a post photography process that perfects images to make them suitable for portraits. The author, an experienced retoucher and art instructor, guides the reader through a detailed course on how to retouch photographs to the highest technical and artistic standard. In addition to technical instruction, the author provides philosophical insights into the nature of artistic retouching, such as the concept of perspective, the feeling of texture, and how to convey the correct expression from the subject. These insights provide not only a firm understanding of photographic retouching but the fundamentals behind what makes for an aesthetically pleasing portrait. Ultimately, this book is not only a practical manual but also an illumination into the choices that go into touching up photographs with the goal of artistic excellence.
