Photo Retouch- Natural Lighting

Photography captured outdoors with natural light is typically the starting point for many new photographers, and the approach to retouching those images is often entirely different from studio shots. Editing natural light photos, however, is a lot trickier than it might seem. Camera colors are also not always the way you want them to be. Color grading is very subjective so it’s up to the retoucher to create and paint the image with light ad to figure out the tone you want to work with.

This is one of my favorite edits. once I gained control of the glare and shine it was all pretty effortless! I performed some standard touch-ups and applied a black and white adjustment layer so i can bring the color to life! In retouching, less is certainly more!
