DEBORAH - Exotic Dancer and Aspiring Model
Client was easy to work with, as she had a natural apptitude for modeling. However, with her fair skin tone, she had to be carefully lighted, so that her natural color would not be blown out. Post-production photo-retouching was done to restore some color to her images, as well as to remove any skin blemishes.

WHAT WAS DONE:
- 1. The shadows were lightened in Adobe Photoshop, so as to reveal the hidden detail.
- 2. To create natural, healthy-looking skin tones, various color samples were made of the subject's skin. The airbrush tool was used to smoothen uneven skin tone.
- 3. The healing-brush tool was then used to remove skin blemishes.
- 4. The brightness-contrast and exposure levels were adjusted to reintroduce some of the natural light fall against the skin.
- 5. The color balance was adjusted so that her skin tone would look less yellow from the tungsten lights, and give a warmer, more natural, pink-red hue.
