Hours?  Nope, less than 5 minutes with the band-aid tool in Photoshop to remove a pimple that makeup didn't cover and ease smile lines.  Thank you for the compliment, I think.

I was posting my closest example of:

only your face.  avoid hands in the main frame.

No mention of post-production anything in there.

Josie,

I know, and that's exactly what I meant. Most of these "beauty" headshots are photoshopped "plastic" - perfect flawless skin, tones, saturation etc. - so perfect it makes me puke. It was awesome to see the picture you posted which possesses natural beauty and no signs of brutal post production. I was happy to see that I'm not the only one who thinks beauty doesn't equal the sequence of expensive photoshop actions. You're awesome. smile

D'oh, sorry... it's late in the day and my reading skills are off (I read "Glad to see eveyrbody thinks beauty is mediocre photography with hours of photoshop post production.").  Thought you were being snarky to me. :p

(Nothing to see here, move along, heh.)

I can imagine. The web shots are so far off the actual quality of the print. I still stick by the fact that every models look in his book is tailor made for great images. His MUA(s) also display their great skills to compliment his eye,lighting etc.
