Retouching

The Wonderful world of retouching 

As one of my professors in grad school said "Any idiot with a camera, can call themselves a photographer, but as important as taking the picture is, what you do with it after is what matters."

I paraphrased that a bit could not remember his exact words but it was somewhere around that. My point is retouching is as much a part of the process as taking the image. Although not all photographers can retouch at the same time not all retouchers are photographers, but there is a certain class, that i am happy to be part of, that can do both. On this post none of these images is mine, they were all taken by different photographers I know and retouched by me. I love being a photographer but at the same time, I do not always want to behind the camera, sometimes i prefer to be infront of the computer with my tablet and headphones on listening to music as much as i can and retouching away!
I am proud to say being part of this special class, there is nothing that I have not shot and or retouched, love it!
