Project 8: Retouching





This project was great because there are so many times when I am out and about with no fancy reflectors, bad sun angles, and I have a killer composition....if only it was 10am, with a soft light and the sun was slightly higher. Oh dear. So here is a photo of me in Paris, backlit, and my face was underexposed. I wanted to capture where we were, a great park surrounded by great architecture. By utilizing the dodge, burn, and sponge tool, I was able to lighten up my face so I am part of the scenery, and balance out the harsh lighting a bit better.
