Most of photographers looking for retouchers on TF work basis. Just wonder why?

Many photographers lining up shots here don't expect to make any notable profit if any on their shoots and therefore don't wish to spend much on their shoots. You don't see many people here looking to pay photographers either.

Retouching is no different from modelling or photographing or doing hair and make-up in that a significant degree of skill is required before it is reasonable to expect to ask for money.

Like yours, I would not even think of hiring a retoucher without side by side "before" & "after" pictures. For all I know, what the retoucher could be posting is more the stellar skills of the photographer & their team than the person's retouching skills.
