Retouching?!? Could you please point out one retouched photo (apart from the contributor sets)?

boywonder · 11-09-2009, 09:03 PM

Yes, all the professional pics are retouched, trust me. This is evident to an expert eye, even if the retouching is not heavy. This happens probably to smoothen skin tones or to cancel sweat or other skin little imperfections. What can I do? I like the sweat beads, the little hair and pores and I don't like smooth plastic doll faces...

However obviously I love Danielle's pics, be they original untouched or retouched. She is fantastic.

I have to agree with Anoree and grande351. As far as I know Rob does not retouch any of the pictures he took himself. Smoothing skin tones or to cancel sweat or other skin little imperfections? Why should Rob do that and even more important when shall he do it? Retouching dozens of photos just takes way too long. I don't think Rob would waste his time for such a useless work. If you are a good photographer who knows how to use his equipment, how to find the perfect location, who's looking for natural light and appropriate backgrounds, and accepting the models the way they are, then you don't need to retouch anything. And that's the reason why I like Rob's work as a photographer.

I believe Rob has stated, on numerous occasions, he does NOT photoshop or otherwise retouch any of his photos. He's always been pretty honest here so why doubt him about retouching. IF he did it, he would admit it.

I could be wrong about retouching, but I don't think so. It seems to me that you can see it quite clearly in Danielle's face close ups, see e.g. last photosets (black dress) or for example in pic 156 in hugs for 25 c photoset: see the different detail in different parts of the face which should be at the same focus, like the hair, etc... It seems that some details were cancelled or smoothened. I can't explain it all since I don't speak english fluently, but if you handle with photoshop or other software you know what I mean. Am I wrong? Do I nedd glasses?

If you want to discuss photo retouching then either find a thread that already has a similar topic or start a new thread with photo retouching as the title. This thread is for update suggestions. Let's get back on that topic.

None of my pictures are photoshopped at all. If anything I may photoshop the down there area if I have razor rash...but I rarely do that (I've done it maybe only three times since I've taken over running the site.) What you see is me, all natural.

Picture 175 in the ***** and Pets photoset...there wouldn't be any sign on hair if it was photoshopped. Same goes with picture 145 in the Alice in the Bedroom photoset. I've never needed to be photoshopped....nor do I really want to be photoshopped to death. Many of my outdoor photosets show me sweating like crazy...and yes you can see the sweat (one good example the Lamborghini LP640 photoset.) The Extreme Closeup photoset is another good example. There are many little imperfections on me in those pictures...yet you see them all! You can see the hair on my face and I can definitely see pores around my nose (picture 121.)

Good to hear it Danielle. One of the things that appeals about you is that it isn't fake 'Hollywood' style porn

boywonder · 11-11-2009, 10:07 AM

Thanks Danielle. I'm going out to see my optician: I need new spectacles!!!!!

Anoree · 11-20-2009, 08:52 PM

May I ask for a specific scene?

I do want to do more tribute videos sometime. I'd like to end one of them with you blowing a kiss to the camera and walk away. Could you include something like that in one of your future shoots, please?
