 Before and After

Among retouchers it's quite a controversial topic to show photos before retouching. 
But I want to show you a small part of my work.
So you can see how retouching can change a photo.

In the first frame, you can see the model's clean skin and hair.
In the second frame, we have cleaned up the floor, removed the background and smoothed out the plume of the dress a bit.

And that's it!
