I recently did some portraits for a friend of mine as a favour. She has seen them and has commented that they are "too detailed"
She showed me an old picture of her that was clearly edited (It has removed a mole on her cheek, for example) When I asked if the photographer had asked her if she wanted the images edited that way she said she didn't ask, but it was kind of expected. All of this has made me think. I for one, wouldn't ask anyone f they wanted their images edited to remove blemishes. What if they didn't consider them blemishes?!
To my mind it's better to have the image in focus and pleasantly framed than to have it edited beyond what someone looks like?
So, my question is, what do you do? how do you approach the editing side of things?
Cheers,
Nick
