One day when I get very bored I might join one of these people to play in the mud. For now I am happy to stay on the sideline as a spectator.
This past week, I had a chance to cover the 2012 Rogers Cup at the Rexall Centre. Despite residing in Toronto for many years, this is my first time attending this tennis tournament. The men’s final was a sold out game, with many Serbian fans cheering for Novak Djokovic, who is currently ranked number two in the world behind Roger Federer of Spain.

In general, I try to minimize the amount of editing and retouching needed after a photo shoot. However, for certain type of shoots such as head shots, retouching is an inevitable part of the work flow. In my opinion, the key to retouching a head shot is to keep everything look as natural as possible, by doing a lot of minor tweaking and adjustments. It is a time consuming process and it takes a long time to develop a proper work flow. I am aware of software that claim to be able to retouch an image in minutes and I have tried some of them. But I still prefer the good-old Photoshop because it gives me the ultimate flexibility and versatility.
My retouching work flow is as follows:
- Adjust white balance and exposure
- Re-shape the subject and fix obvious defects
- Clean up the skin
- Add highlight and shadow via dodging and burning
- Clean up the eyes, lips, sharpen accessories
