Professional Portrait Photography & Retouching - Start to Finish

In the Learn Amazing Retouching Techniques With Photoshop, I'm going to do some creative retouching on a funky colourful portrait. I made a course that’s accessible to anyone who wants to learn a bit more about portrait retouching. This course will give you a very in-depth look into how I structure my workflow to get to that colourful final image. Once you’ve gone through all the lessons you’ll be able to apply these techniques to your own work!

This tutorial involves plenty of techniques, some you might be familiar with, and others not. It’s also important to remember that each image is different and tweaking your technique could help you create a stunning image.

With over 14 very comprehensive lessons you’ll be able to take all these techniques, tips and tricks to create something colourful and amazing. This tutorial covers everything about the entire process, including photography and light setup, and retouching techniques. Techniques like colour & sharpening, working with masks, dodge & burn, and many others.                                                                    

The idea is to teach you how to create an amazing retouch. May this be for your images or for clients. The aim is to teach you how to get that awesome wow / pop look onto the images with a few simple photoshop techniques. 

Whether you have previous experience with photoshop or not, it doesn't matter. Apply your knowledge for an hour a day and you could be making huge improvements or even extra cash, as a retoucher just like me.

"And I'm not kidding when I say that you need no previous retouching experience! "You just need to Practice the techniques"
