Before and After - Portraits

[Simmotino]

Well, if you think that shot isn't quite good enough, perhaps you need to brush up on your skin smoothing!:

Before and After comparisons.

Makes you wonder why they even bother with the photograph in some of them!

Nice pp work though

wow.. some of them looks nothing like the initial shot...

 

[onefunkypenguin]

4th in the black woman. They've literally recreated the pupil on the left eye. The focus of the original hit the eyelashes quiet clearly as the pupil is out of focus. Must have been at 1.2

Awesome.

The beauty of this is that they arent changing face shape or body shape or anything like that, it's effectively using the face in the photo as a canvas for art. Love it.

I can understand the market for this kind of PP, but just find it going to far for my taste..

I think these examples are pretty extreme simply for the purpose of demontrating what can be done.

In a lot of cases those photographs would never have been used and the girls would have had better make up to begin with. Certainly in most the model/makeup/lighting should have been a lot better but I think that's the whole point. There is actually one of the photographs that I think looks better before the pp appart from the colour cast.

I love them. Family snapshots are the reality, proshots now show the fantasy loll

Definately a major demonstration of the amount of pp that's possible. Amazingly, very few of them look 'plasticy', there is some, albeit not totally natural, texture left in the skin.
