I'd remove the moles and imperfections. You see, this is definitely too sexy and "fashion" for a standard portrait (so where these things would not distract) - therefore I think that the overall image of this beauty should be more, hmm, fulfilled. More perfect.
You might, but these aren't your shots...
I see where you are coming from though.
However, we go for the real look, as much as possible. People come to us for that reason. Kind, honest yet flattering images.
Barbiedolls are just not us. Sure, they could be, if the client or model asked. Or even if we decided to go for that look in a specific style. IF we had produced these shots for a so-called beauty publication, then maybe I would have had to wipe out any personality in her face. Making the generic doll.
The same for the 'pimple' on her chin. It's there, it's her, it's honest. Irene is not bothered about it so neither are we.
I find it strange that people can manage to point out imperfections is some people yet if she was hideously ugly, overweight with 3 eyes, people would be scared to critisize. Scared to offend the model.
I don't mind the open comments, I welcome them, but also understand what goes on here too. Nothing gets posted without us, (Inge and myself) agreeing that the shot is how we like it.
With respect, and thanks for the open opinions,
