What do I do on Skin Retouching...?
Skin Retouching
What do I do on skin retouching? I don’t follow a specific technique or read any tutorials (yet) that was taught or anything like that, but I just whatever is necessary to getting a photo to giving me what I’m looking for in my selected photos that was passed over to final level of processing. The final level of overall processing is skin retouching and I retouch the skin on Photoshop CS5. I learned the basics photo enhancement in college in photo enhancement class I took, but I was already somewhat comfortable with photoshop as I casually used it for about 10 years. Since I started doing model photography all I do in skin retouching is use the “Healing Brush,” and all options in healing brush, but rarely use the patch tool and I’m new to using content aware option with the healing brush.

Model Photoshoot PREVIEW!: Aya Stam
My TOP 5 Most Wanted Lenses - on a Budget
I did some massive research into 3rd party lenses and some were good for the prices with the quality of image they provide, but some lenses that were 1st party was still a good budget (low) prices I thought wasn't worth to go 3rd party, such as $50-$100 difference. Just note this observation is purely from research, no hands-on and experience of the lenses I'm recommending.

Jargon 06: Lifestyle, Documentary and Editorial Photography
I've done some a little research that I thought would be interesting to share with my regular readers.
Lifestyle Photography: A good example of Lifestyle photography would be a Calvin Klein print advertisement. Where some portrays this type of photography. This is somewhat semi-candid type of photography where being posed is not what you want to see and show as a photographer, the best photos are the very natural but not too realistic looking and adding a tiny bit of fantasy to the photo. And what I mean by that is as you see the samples below you do not see unattractive people in the shots at all. More details can be found in the link.
Experienced Photographers are Automatically Good Photographers?
Simply no.... Because experience generally would increase overall general skills of a person in pretty much any field, if done right and somewhat guided. A photographer can shoot for whatever amount of time, like 10 years, and another photographer could have only a few months of experience and in many times I've seen the least experienced photographer would have higher quality work than the one whom is more experienced.
