I am sure that every girl wants to have perfect wedding photos. Where the light falls correctly, and the shade of the skin, hints at a recent visit to the resort. And no, I emphasize, no skin defects! To solve this problem, we need a cosmetologist, a makeup artist, a photographer, and a retoucher.

One popular option for removing imperfections in wedding photos is to use https://retouchme.com/service/pimple-remover-app. This service allows you to smooth out blemishes and other distractions, improving the overall appearance of the portrait. While the goal may be to create a polished image, it is important to consider the wider implications of this choice.

Make-up artist

There is a point of view, why pay a makeup artist if the photos will still be processed before I receive my photos. I cannot agree with this opinion.

The make-up artist’s job is not only to hide skin defects (the make-up artist will not be able to remove large defects, a make-up artist will be needed), but also to evenly tone the skin and apply highlighter, etc.

The most important thing is that a high-quality image of the bride allows you to keep your makeup until the very end of the wedding day. And you are guaranteed to receive a large number of beautiful photos from the wedding.

Wedding photographer and retoucher

There are three options for processing photos: basic processing, light retouching, and full retouching.

Basic photo processing

Absolutely all photos undergo basic processing. This is mandatory color and light correction of each frame, so that the entire series of wedding photos looks harmonious and in one style. If necessary, the geometry of the frame is corrected, the slope is corrected, and the final framing is performed, the light and shadow picture is corrected.

Easy photo retouching

In addition to the basic version, large defects of the skin of the face are removed and small extraneous objects are removed from the frame, for example single hairs that fall untidy, small pimples, scars, etc. d. The disadvantage of the method is that with such a method it is impossible to achieve maximum naturalness of the image.

Deep photo retouching

In addition, skin tone and its texture are evened out using more complex methods that produce the highest quality result.  With this method of retouching portraits, the natural texture of the skin is preserved and the characters in the photo do not turn into “plastic mannequins”.  In addition, if necessary, deep color correction is performed. Parasitic color reflexes are removed, “pure” color is displayed. Also, large extraneous objects are removed, which at the time of shooting we could not remove, but they interfere with the perception of the photo. At the request of the customer, “plastic” is performed – the volume of hair is added, the shape of the hairstyle is changed, the features of the face and body are corrected. 

The wedding photographer is responsible for the quality

No matter how talented a retoucher a wedding photographer is, the quality of the final photo depends on the basic conditions. If the photographer “failed” the photo from a technical point of view, no one and nothing will save it. Therefore, if you want to get the highest quality result, listen carefully and follow all the recommendations of the photographer. Starting with a wedding image and ending with lighting on the set
