PRACTISE
Think you've got it?
Think you've got it?
Take a portrait image of your own (borrow a DSLR if you wish). I'm only interested in face/shoulders shots (no full body shots!). Now use your newly developed retouching skills to improve the image, making it suitable for use in a magazine. I expect dramatic contrasts, bright eyes and smooth skin (you can use the spot healing tool to remove any small blemishes too; spots, scars, etc).
Extension Task
Look for other portrait tutorials that you could use to develop even more skills to improve your portrait photography. Let's see who can produce the most glamorous image!
