I need some help. I've just taken the plunge and leased space for a studio (more 'bout that later in another thread. :ivar) I would like to have a few before & after retouching examples to show clients what I routinely do. I'd like to have examples of people my clients will not know, nor are ever likely to run into. I'm not into glamour shots, nor radical facial sculpting, just "clearasilling" for teenagers, wrinkle de-emphasis for middle-agers, and the usual eye enhancements and tooth whitening, etc. Obviously, the retouching needs to be my own work, but I have no issues with using someone elses images to greate this little gallery. I do not intend to put this work on the web. I would have a set of prints here in the studio.

Does anyone have any images they'd feel comfortable letting me use? I need a couple of teenagers, a couple young adults, some middle-agers, and some seniors. Preferrably people sho aren't already perfect! Raw is preferred. From outside the Washington DC area is what I'm looking for.

Moderator: I'd like this to stay in "People" if you don't mind. I think it will get more looks by the people who can help me then if it's in "Mind Yer Own Bidness."

    John,

    I might have some for you. A while ago a did a before & after with ordinary people at a beauty school.
    The before is without make-up / or little. The after when they completed the course. But even the after needs extra work in CS or LR.
    If you want I can get you the raw's (in TIFF). You will have a bit of work on them.

    I will prep them on smugmug and send you the link later on the day or tomorrow.
    You can then decide if it is useful or not.

    Yes, Rey, several. I wasn't very clear though, in my original post, so some of what I was sent by gererous DGrinners wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I'm really needing tight headshots, or head & shoulders. Whatcha got?
