After numerous trials and errors, I’ve found a skin retouching method that allows me to make people’s skin to look flawless while keeping the photos as sharp as possible. The method is time consuming and it involves numerous steps. So, it’s not a method I use on a regular basis. Ideally, the first step involves…

Rotwild + Fuji Instax Wide), and part digital photo manipulation. The digital image was shot using Canon 5DS R with 70-200mm lens, lit with Profoto B1 monolight + a…
