My name is Gerhadus Meyer. I am a professional photo-retoucher and photographer with 7 years of experience. I studied photography at the Central University of Technology from 2008 - 2011 where I specialized in fashion photography and started working as a full time photographer and freelancer in 2012. I normally I take around 20 - 35 min per image when I do basic retouching. This includes removing blemishes, standard skin retouching, liquification, color correction sharpening and colour grading Advanced retouching can take me anywhere from 40 min to 3 or more hours per image depending on the skin, hair and quality of the model. This includes face and body shaping to enhance the model's features, skin enhancements using advanced photoshop techniques , eye enhancements, dodge and burn, teeth whitening, color correction, liquification, advanced and selective sharpening, contrast, saturations, colour grading, curves and special effects
