My latest portrait. IF I could pin point the most important step in retouching it would be Dodge & Burn. It's the hardest step to master but the most rewarding.
Million dollar tip: The trick is to slowly build up the highlights and shadows. I use opacity of 5%

Love that pop of purple colour!
Nice photo, great tips!
As good as the retouching is, I think the pose makes this shot special.
Outstanding! Love the way the light draws your eyes in.
Excellent shot!
Another amazing portrait. It's got that Diamond touch.
Is that a ring light in a ring light?
Hair and eyes makes this shot. What kind of lighting are you using here? Looks like some type of ring lighting?
Interesting catch lights
Beauty full picture Danny hair color looks perfect
That hair <3 The catch lights on the eyes are nice when the dots are further apart
This is so good! I love the depth of field and ring light. Fabulous all around.
The ring flash catchlight... lovely!
This is THE photo that made me build a ringlight. Love it!
