Portrait Retouch LIVE
I’m pretty sure many of you know of my friend Jared Polin from Fro Knows Photo. Jared is an amazing photographer and his passion for photography is undeniable.
A few days ago Jared asked if I’d like to have a stab at editing one of his portrait photos and whilst I was very short of time I decided it would be a great distraction. In fact at the time I was so busy I didn’t spend anytime rehearsing or planning what I was going to do.
So this is effectively a live recording, without pauses, restarts or any of the editing polish I normally apply.
Here’s my final image. Given time I’d improve it a little more. The cloning on the shoulder wasn’t brilliant and could be better. The skin also needs a little more work, but for a 10 minute edit, I’m happy with the result.
Below is Jareds edit of the same RAW file. As you can see we both had rather different results and each is good (and bad) in it’s own way.
You can find out more about Jared Polin and see the rest of the edits of this photo on the Fro Know Photo web site.
Gav,
Great edit. I’m not very confident in LR3 and Photoshop yet but have some great shots to edit. This was a nice tutorial. Even short on time you made it look great. Thanks for the video. -Cody
great, just great. So much to learn in this video, you are a star Gavin!
I am definitely an admirer of your work. I did try some of your tutorials.
Thanks a lot.

Man, you make that look easy. I could almost pull that off … in an hour or two. 🙂
